The Game Awards 2015, Geoff Keighley’s annual end-of-year combo of award show and preview event, is happening on Thursday night and has had a number of teases shown off for what will be teased between giving Witcher 3 lots of different games accolades. This includes an announcement from Palmer Luckey about Oculus among new DLC for current games and trailers for other announced titles.
Nevermind a panel of experts, here’s what we think are the best games of 2015.
Palmer himself made a tweet saying he will be there, but clarifying that he wouldn’t be announcing pre-orders going live:
Really cool announcement happening at The Game Awards! (Not preorders opening)

There’s no hint as to what he may be talking about, but possibilities include new tech that’s been developed for the release version, or even a release date.
Meanwhile a trailer has been released to show off what else will be at the show:
You’ll be able to tune in at 9pm EST / 6pm PST / 2am GMT / 3am CET on Thursday/Friday morning. In previous years surprise announcements have included No Man’s Sky, as well as debuts of trailers for MGS5, ADR1FT and The Witcher 3. Personally I quite like it, though don’t ascribe any real meaning to the awards themselves beyond reconfirming a bunch of games I either enjoyed or plan to play.
