Geoff Keighley did what Geoff Keighley does best: he dropped a moody teaser days before The Game Awards and let everyone lose their minds. On November 29, 2025, he posted a striking, ultra-vague image, and the speculation machine immediately kicked into overdrive.
What did Geoff actually post?
Keighley shared the image on X (Twitter) and Instagram the same day. No caption that explains anything, just this little breadcrumb:

The picture itself? All vibe, zero answers. It looks important, but it doesn’t point cleanly to any one game or studio. Which, let’s be honest, is kind of the point. When the guy who hosts the biggest gaming show of the year posts a cryptic teaser, it isn’t nothing — but he knows exactly how to keep us guessing.
The guessing game (because of course)
Within minutes, Reddit threads were zooming into pixels and arguing about colors and shapes like it was the Zapruder film. The mood right now is equal parts excitement, suspicion, and playful over-analysis — basically the standard pre-TGA cocktail.
- Elder Scrolls 6: Some fans hope this is finally the real update after that 2018 tease.
- God of War: Others think it could be a look at whatever comes next for Kratos.
- The safer read: It might just be a broad hype teaser for The Game Awards 2025, with no one specific reveal attached.
Why this feels familiar
Keighley has a track record of posting deliberately ambiguous teasers before major shows. Sometimes they line up with actual reveals; other times they’re there to fuel anticipation and keep the conversation hot heading into the event. That’s exactly what’s happening now — the timing alone has people restless, with TGA 2025 right around the corner.
Could it really be Elder Scrolls or God of War?
Short answer: there’s zero official confirmation either way. The studios behind both franchises are keeping things locked down, if anything is even ready to show. Still, the fan energy makes sense — Elder Scrolls fans have been in suspense since that 2018 reveal, and God of War fans want to know what’s next for Kratos. Even with a healthy dose of skepticism, the possibility of a surprise keeps both camps glued to every hint.
When we find out
Only Geoff knows if this is a genuine breadcrumb or just a pre-show hype spark. We won’t know for sure until The Game Awards stream live on December 11, 2025.
