– Initial public speculation linked the statue to major franchises like Diablo, God of War, Elder Scrolls 6, or Lords of the Fallen 2.
– Tyminski stated his team is hoping the statue is teasing a new project from the developer FromSoftware.
– Despite the statue not being theirs, CI Games has “big news” coming soon for both the original Lords of the Fallen and its sequel.

Speculation has run wild since a massive, glowing, demonic statue appeared in the California desert, a promotional stunt orchestrated by The Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley. While the mysterious monolith has fueled rumors about major franchises, CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski has definitively stated it is not connected to the anticipated Lords of the Fallen 2. This clarification directly addresses one of the leading fan theories, redirecting excitement toward the studio’s own forthcoming announcements.
Initial guesses from the gaming community pointed toward several blockbuster titles. Many believed the ominous figure could be heralding news about Diablo, the next God of War installment, The Elder Scrolls 6, or the sequel to Lords of the Fallen. Tyminski took to social media to set the record straight, expressing that he was genuinely “flattered” by the association. He noted, however, that his studio has not yet reached the scale required for such an elaborate marketing campaign, adding that his team shares the public’s curiosity and is personally hoping the statue teases a new project from the acclaimed developers at FromSoftware.
Alongside dismissing the rumor, Tyminski confirmed that significant news is imminent for both the original Lords of the Fallen title and its sequel, promising that “soon it’s time to reveal.” Industry observers widely expect these updates to be showcased during The Game Awards ceremony, an event renowned as much for its game reveals and trailers as for its accolades. This timing suggests CI Games is preparing a major presentation to capture the audience’s attention during the high-profile broadcast.
The true nature of the desert monolith remains an enigma. Respected industry journalist Jason Schreier has reported that the stunt is not linked to a Diablo 4 expansion or The Elder Scrolls 6. Furthermore, God of War’s creative director, Cory Barlog, has also publicly denied any connection to his series. With these major possibilities seemingly eliminated, the mystery deepens, ensuring all eyes will be on The Game Awards broadcast for the official unveiling. The identity of the project behind this striking piece of marketing will finally be revealed when the show airs.
