– The monolith is confirmed not to be linked to the Battlefield franchise, according to a senior director at Battlefield Studios.
– Speculation about the monolith has been dismissed for several major games, including Diablo 4, The Elder Scrolls 6, Lords of the Fallen 2, and the next God of War.

A mysterious, imposing structure has captured the attention of the gaming world ahead of The Game Awards. This dark, monolithic object first appeared in the stark landscape of the Mojave Desert, described by show host Geoff Keighley with the cryptic phrase “regal.inspiring.thickness.” Now, an identical or similar monolith has been spotted in Los Angeles, fueling intense speculation about what game or announcement it might be promoting. The purpose of this enigmatic piece of marketing remains completely unknown, transforming it into a viral puzzle for fans to solve.
While the internet buzzes with theories, one major franchise has already been ruled out. Andy McNamara, a senior director at Battlefield Studios, shared a photo of the LA monolith on social media, explicitly stating it has no connection to the Battlefield series. This public denial from an Electronic Arts representative helps narrow the field of possibilities, though many other guesses continue to circulate.
Some of the most popular conjectures point toward major fantasy RPGs. Speculation has swirled around a potential new expansion for Diablo 4 or even the long-awaited The Elder Scrolls 6. However, industry journalist Jason Schreier has reportedly indicated the monolith is not linked to either of those intellectual properties. Further adding to the mystery, CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski confirmed it does not signal the upcoming Lords of the Fallen 2. Even God of War’s creative director, Cory Barlog, has stepped in to quash rumors that the object teases the next chapter in Kratos’s saga.
With so many high-profile denials, the only way to discover the truth is to watch the ceremony. The Game Awards broadcast on December 11 will presumably reveal the secret behind this marketing campaign. The show is scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM Pacific Time and 7:30 PM Eastern Time.
Beyond the monolith mystery, the event promises a wealth of new reveals. Several studios have confirmed that fresh trailers will debut during the show, including looks at the sci-fi RPG Exodus, the superhero brawler Invincible VS, the anticipated horror title Resident Evil Requiem, and the action-packed Phantom Blade Zero. The monolith has successfully built an aura of anticipation, ensuring all eyes will be on the awards to see what emerges from the shadows.
