The Game Awards are coming up soon, and now host and organizer Geoff Keighley is hyping the event with some kind of real-world teaser campaign for something people believe is connected to Diablo. Others do not believe it is connected to Diablo. Some think it’s for the next God of War game. Still others think it could be for The Elder Scrolls 6. All of these suggestions may be wrong, however.
On November 28, Keighley posted the tex “regal.inspiring.thickness” along with an image of some kind of huge carving featuring humanoid people in the middle of a desert. On November 29, Keighley followed up with a Google Maps image showing the location of the marketing monolith in the California desert. People quickly found the spot and posted images and video, including the ones below. Then on December 5, Keighley posted yet another teaser, this one also very puzzling.
Here’s the message: “The █████ are silent. █████ bleeds. New █████ stir.”
The █████ are silent. █████ bleeds. New █████ stir.

Windows Central reporter Jez Corden said the teaser is related to an upcoming Diablo 4 expansion announcement, “but also, more.”
It was previously confirmed that Diablo 4 will get a new expansion in 2026, so a reveal at The Game Awards would make sense. The imagery of the teaser monolith is hellish as well, which is fitting if it’s a Diablo 4 teaser.
