The Game Awards will air on Disney+ this year, and along with that, Disney has teased “major announcements and surprises” for its own games at the event. To be sure, The Game Awards will stream in other places, too, like YouTube and Twitch, so you won’t need to sign up for Disney+ to watch.

“As the evening unfolds, viewers can expect major announcements and surprises from some of Disney’s most anticipated titles in gaming,” the company said.

That’s all that Disney had to say on the matter, but the tease has gotten people excited to theorize about the possibilities. For starters, Disney is already a big player in the world of video games, with nine different gaming franchises that have each generated at least $1 billion. One such franchise is Kingdom Hearts, and many are expecting news about Kingdom Hearts 4 soon.

Beyond that, there are ongoing rumors about a new version of The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Another possibility is that Disney shares more about its partnership with Epic Games and Fortnite.  “A number of launches coming up over the next two years … are going to demonstrate the value of this partnership,” Disney executive Dana Walder recently said.

Disney could also share new details about its upcoming Star Wars gaming projects, including Star Wars Eclipse, or possibly the rumored Jedi 3 or Battlefront 3. Or Disney could show off some of its new Marvel projects, including the upcoming Iron Man game. Marvel’s Blade also remains in development amid uncertainty about its developer, Arkane Lyon.

Disney’s new CEO, Josh D’Amaro, is a big believer in games and has suggested gaming could be Disney’s next big growth-driver, after the company’s stock price has been flat over the past decade. Some have theorized that Disney could buy Epic and Fortnite to help grow the business, but nothing has materialized as of yet.

The Game Awards are set for Thursday, December 10 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Keep checking back with GameSpot for more.
