The Game Awards will air on Disney+ this year, and along with that, Disney has teased "major announcements and surprises" for its own games at the event. To be sure, The Game Awards will stream in other places, too, like YouTube and Twitch, so you won't need to sign up for Disney+ to watch. "As the evening unfolds, viewers can expect major announcements and surprises from some of Disney’s most anticipated titles in gaming," the company said . That's all that Disney had to say on the matter, but the tease has gotten people excited to theorize about the possibilities. For starters, Disney is already a big player in the world of video games, with nine different gaming franchises that have each generated at least $1 billion . One such franchise is Kingdom Hearts, and many are expecting news about Kingdom Hearts 4 soon. Beyond that, there are ongoing rumors about a new version of The Simpsons

This Happy Ending For Two Games With Identical Names Was A Headache For Nintendo
