The Game Awards Desert Statue - 1
  • Mysterious images posted by Geoff Keighley and the official Game Awards account have been teasing a secret game reveal.
  • Reliable sources have confirmed that the images have no relation to Diablo or God of War.
  • With those two theories turned down, players feel that Housemarque’s Saros is the most likely candidate.

By micro-analyzing the many bespoke details of the sculpture, some fans concluded that the image could be teasing a new Diablo IV expansion, or maybe even a new God of War game. A subsequent post by the official Game Awards account, this time of a mysterious monolith, all but confirmed that the teasers are tied to a game reveal. That said, we now have confirmation that they aren’t linked to Diablo or God of War, leaving behind one tantalizing candidate.

Reliable sources have confirmed that the Game Awards’ desert statue bears no links to Diablo or God of War. Reputed journalist Jason Schreier shut down the Diablo rumors on a Resetera thread , stating that “the statue is not teasing the Diablo IV expansion,” and that the reveal is a “good one,” but he has no plans of reporting on it. The God of War links were severed by Cory Balrog himself, who dropped into Luke Stephens’ Twitch chat and killed the rumors.

But in all likelihood, it seems that the statues bear some thematic resemblance to Saros , the new PS5 exclusive from Housemarque. Promotional images from the game have featured a creature with multiple limbs, which can be related to the desert monolith’s tentacles. Moreover, PlayStation is known for going above and beyond when it comes to promoting first-party titles, often resorting to statues such as this.

Of course, all this is purely speculative for the time being. And we’ll have to wait until the Game Awards broadcast to find out the truth behind the teasers.
