• The Elder Scrolls 6 didn't make an appearance at The Game Awards 2025, and the RPG community is once again in shambles: "Todd Howard and Bethesda fatigue has finally set in"

  12-12-2025 17:05 via gamesradar.com
  
  Well, it's official – Bethesda Game Studios did not unveil any footage of The Elder Scrolls 6 or share any news at The Game Awards 2025, despite circulating rumors (more like copium, let's be real here), and the community is once again in shambles.It turns out that The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley's cryptic teaser wasn't a sign of any Half-Life 3 news, a new God of War game, or, perhaps most unfortunately, a trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6.

  Depending on who you ask, Half-Life 3's announcement at the Game Awards may as well have been prophesied by the stars. The recent news of Steam hardware and an uptick in activity at the…pizza places near Valve's headquarters seemed to all but guarantee that a dazzling reveal was imminent. Of course, no such announcement was made–how often do Valve really play by anyone's rules or expectations but its own–and now r/halflife is burning.Just days ago, members of the subreddit, wh

  Lords of the Fallen 2's second bloody trailer was gruesome, to put it politely, when it debuted last night at The Game Awards 2025. Many a head was beheaded and many an arm was chopped clean off during a sub-two-minute look at the Soulslike sequel, but that's only because series fans told the developers to "go all in" on the violence."When we asked our community just how far we should push the gore in the next Lords of the Fallen, the answer was loud and unanimous: 'go all in'," CI Games creativ
