Disney has confirmed that The Game Awards will be streamed live on Disney+ this year, and is promising “major announcements and surprises” from some of its upcoming games during the show.
The announcement confirms that The Game Awards will take place on December 10 and will also be available on Disney+ in select international markets. The show will continue to stream on its usual platforms, including YouTube, so it’s not like you have to hand money to the big mouse to watch.
Disney hasn’t named any of the games that will be featured, and its wording leaves plenty of room for trailers and updates on already announced projects as well as entirely new reveals. But there’s one game that immediately springs to mind: the third entry in Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi series.
EA confirmed back in 2024 that Respawn was working on the final chapter of Cal Kestis’ story, although we still don’t have an official title or a proper look at the game. More recently, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said the sequel was “far in development” and should be officially announced “soon.”
That follows a claim from Star Wars insider FivesWalker, who said in September that the game would launch in 2027 and that marketing would begin sooner than people might expect. They added that they’d bet on it starting before The Game Awards, although that sounded more like their own expectation than a firm claim.
Of course, Disney owns a lot more than Star Wars. Marvel and Kingdom Hearts are among the otherlikely possibilities. Still, with Schreier saying a reveal should be coming soon and Disney promising some big gaming news, I reckon Jedi 3 is a pretty good bet.
