The Game Awards has always had its share of exclusive reveals, and event host Geoff Keighley says 2017 has the biggest world premiere lineup yet. Assuming that’s true, there should be around 13 surprises to look out for. Here are a few hints for what to expect.

  • Keighley has teased two “brand new worlds” that will debut during the event.
  • There are known reveals for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Fortnite and the next game from Job Simulator’s Owlchemy Labs.
  • There are lots of rumors surrounding Soul Calibur VI and Devil May Cry 5, but those are largely unsubstantiated.
  • Hideo Kojima and the Death Stranding crew will be in attendance, but no reveal is confirmed.

The 2017 Game Awards begin with a pre-show at 8:30 p.m. EST on Dec. 7.
