Last week, rumors began to spread that Rocksteady would announce their next game during the show. That game was reportedly going to be called “Superman: World’s Finest”. Well, those rumors have proven to be false. Rocksteady game director Sefton Hill confirmed via Twitter that the studio would not make an appearance at the awards. He also said their next project did not center around the Man of Steel:
Looking forward to #TheGameAwards this year! We’re still hard at work in our development bunker so don’t expect an announcement from @Rocksteadygames. When it’s ready to show, you’ll be the first to know. Spoiler: it’s not Superman 😳

It has also been confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 won’t make a splash this week either. Community Lead for CD Projekt Red Marcin Momot said this via Twitter:
We're looking forward to seeing all the reveals and announcements during this year's @thegameawards, however we're not going to be showing anything there ourselves. We’ll share more details about @cyberpunkgame when we’re ready.
