The Game Awards 2025 predictions
Early predictions paint a fiercely contested landscape dominated by ambitious RPGs and sequels. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out as the consensus frontrunner for Game of the Year, praised for its innovative turn-based combat, emotional narrative, and stunning visuals from debut studio Sandfall Interactive.
Hot on its heels are Hades 2, boasting near-perfect scores for its roguelike evolution and mythological flair; the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, expected to dazzle with metroidvania mastery; Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Hideo Kojima's boundary-pushing sequel likely to snag Best Direction and Narrative nods; and Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo's destructive platformer vying for Best Family and Action/Adventure wins.
Other categories buzz with potential: Best Performance could honor Jennifer English's poignant portrayal in Expedition 33 or Troy Baker's charismatic Indiana Jones; Best Art Direction favors Ghost of Yōtei's feudal Japan aesthetic; while indies like Blue Prince eye Best Independent Game.
