The Game Awards 2026 will be streamed live on Disney+ for the first time, with Disney promising 'major announcements' and surprises from its most anticipated gaming titles during the ceremony.
Host and organiser Geoff Keighley confirmed that this year's event, scheduled for December 10 (December 11 in the UK), will be available on Disney+ in addition to platforms like YouTube and Twitch.
Disney's Gaming Lineup
Disney, which owns Marvel and Star Wars, said: 'As the evening unfolds, viewers can expect major announcements and surprises from some of Disney's most anticipated titles in gaming.'
Star Wars Jedi 3 is widely expected to be announced this year, according to rumours. Other possibilities include DLC for Star Wars: Galactic Racer or Zero Company. Disney is also reportedly in talks with studios about Star Wars: Battlefront 3, though early discussions might mean a reveal at Star Wars Celebration next year, during the 50th anniversary of A New Hope.
Marvel and Other Franchises
For Sora fans, the biggest hope is an exact release date for Kingdom Hearts 4, slated for 2027. On the Marvel side, Disney could showcase the Iron Man game from EA, whose trailer leaked this year, or DLC for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls tied to Avengers: Doomsday. A new look at Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra, unseen for years, is also possible.
Alien: Isolation 2, under the Disney banner, lacks a release date. There might also be a major update for Disney Dreamlight Valley or official news on the rumoured return of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
What to Expect
While it is unlikely all these titles will appear, Disney's involvement suggests more than one announcement. The Game Awards 2026 begins Friday, December 11 in the UK at 12.30am.
