Ok, the title of this thread is kind of a joke, I wanted to sound dramatic. lol
But seriously, after the bomb that was Highguard, the final announcement at The Game Awards 2025, I noticed that the "Last surprise" of the show usually doesn't end up very well.
Or is it just my imagination?
I did a quick research, and those are the final surprise at the events since 2015:
2025 - Highguard (66 Meta, 2.6 User Score, Mixed on Steam)
2024 - Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet (Still need to see more, mostly negative reception on trailers)
2023 - Monster Hunter Wilds (Good sales, good reception, but some fans of the series ended up disappointed)
2022 - Final Fantasy XVI Release Date (kinda Ok, but the game had mixed reaction from fans and possibly disappointing sales)
2021 - Matrix Awakens and Matrix 4 (The game was Ok, but the movie was a failure)
2020 - Mass Effect (Game STILL in development)
2019 - Fast and Furious Crossroads (35 Meta, 1.7 User score)
2018 - Joker in Smash (Ok)
2017 - Metro Exodus (Ok)
2016 - Mass Effect: Andromeda (Considered the Black Sheep of the series)
2015 - The Walking Dead: Michonne (Considered one of the weakest Telltale Games)

So, what do you guys think? Am I just imagining things, or there's some bad omen at the final reveals of TGA?
