Normally we'd have game announcements closer to release, or at least within a year to 6 months, like it used to be back in the day.
The past decade has shown that those days are somewhat behind us, in that we now get snippet/titlecard style announcements, with those advertised games being years and years away from final release (Like NMS, Cyberpunk, RDR2, GTA VI, Blade, etc).
These announcements today end up serving a slightly different purpose than what we're usually used to, in that yes, we do get to see a snippet trailer to get us engaged/hyped, but at the same time they feel more geared towards enticing talent into their studio pool. The Blade trailer in particular feels more like an ad to get more devs to join the team to make the game by 2027 (which is years away).
I do think that studios/publishers should really go back to the way things used to be, in that we get a trailer 1 year to 6 months, and not 5-10 years, because by then people will lose interest, or wait that many years only to be met with an utterly disastrous game (ones that already ask a high price).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
