Mysterious Statue in Mojave desert Fuels Game Awards Speculation
Mojave desert, California – A large, enigmatic statue erected in the Mojave Desert is generating intense buzz within the gaming community as a potential teaser for announcements planned for The game Awards. Host Geoff Keighley initially sparked interest with a cryptic photo posted this weekend depicting the statue, composed of figures including skeletons, a bear, and a crocodile. Keighley’s accompanying message, “regal.inspiring.thickness,” led fans to pinpoint the statue’s location using the What3words geocoding system,placing it in a desert area near two roads in California.
Confirmation of the location came from an official post by The Game Awards account, sharing a Google Maps screenshot. subsequent visits by internet sleuths have revealed the statue stands several meters tall, featuring the same creatures from Keighley’s initial image, with a central “door” and a sun-like structure with a protruding limb. Witnesses report the statue glows red after dark.
The revelation has ignited widespread speculation regarding potential reveals at the Game Awards, an annual event on December 7th that serves as a major platform for game announcements and trailers. Current leading theories center around the Diablo series, with possibilities ranging from a Diablo 4 expansion to a new installment, a television adaptation, or a port to the Nintendo Switch 2. A new God of War game, perhaps set in Egypt, is also a popular hypothesis, drawing connections between the statue’s creatures and those featured in recent god of War titles.
A less-prominent theory, originating from the half-Life subreddit, suggests the phrase “regal.inspiring.thickness” is an anagram for “kleiner tracing ship signs,” potentially hinting at a Half-Life 3 teaser.
