Watch the Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred World Premiere Trailer from The Game Awards 2025. Live from Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on December 11th 2025. Celebrate the best and see what's next in video games at The Game Awards 2025.

A circulating Game Awards teaser statue prompted speculation about Diablo and God of War, but key industry figures state it is tied to neither franchise.
It could either be a new IP, or a long dormant IP that we don't know about. A deep piece of lore that nobody has picked up on. If it's a new IP, what the point of doing this teaser? Nobody will figure it out and it's weird marketing. I'll say it's a old IP making a comeback.
The only game I can think of that involves a wolf and a crocodile might be Rampage, but there is no way their rebooting that IP like this
Could it be SAROS ??? Looks like it might be part of that world design. Alien architecture idk
Deeper analysis on it. If an old IP. It's definitely not in the past 10 years. I think it's a game from the past 20+ years. Why? Well nobody so far is able to figure out what this statue is. Which brings me to think it could be niche 20+ plus year old game. Again New IP? I mean viral marketing can happen but this type of. Marketing makes 0 sense so the chance of a new game are very Slim. IMO of course.
Do I think it's a big game. Tbh it's geoff. Though tbh he's gotten allot better at hyping and tempering expections. I think it'll be divided, niche title that some will be crazy excited for it others will be scratching heads or pissed off. Reception, divided.
It’s Legend of Dragoon 2!!!! Yah I know I’m reaching but a man can dream right?

1. Don't lock seasons. Let people switch between them and experience the content at their leisure.
2. Stop locking appearance items behind paywalls. You've even made it so you can't unlock as much as before, making it apparent you don't care about giving the content to people, just forcing them to pay for it. Do you think people care about working through new content if they're not going to get anything out of it unless they give your money? The store is littered with money only cosmetics, keep the seasonal stuff obtainable without money.
3. Make every build viable. This game is a big cookie cutter reliant game and you haven't grasped the idea that people want power fantasies and not limitations. But then you expect them to keep rolling up new characters? Make it make sense.
It was bad on Friday, but almost non existent today (Saturday). I had no disconnects either today. I managed to my Rogue from level 7 to 22. On the first day I got the Barbarian to 12 and three Rogue to 7 with a couple of disconnects, then waiting in queue dirt awhile.
