The ceremony’s producer and host, Keighley, did a Q&A on Twitch this past weekend. In it, one of the users asked about how many World Premieres there will be at The Game Awards 2023and the answer was that he had not counted them, although he estimates that more or less the same as previous yearss. However, he added something more about it:

In fact, you’re going to see it this year, we used to put up those signs, ‘world premiere, world premiere’… But we are moving away from this. Simply, because then everything is like… ‘is this a first look?’ ‘is it an advertisement?’, etc. So we’re going to treat it all like cool video game content.

Will Nintendo give any surprise at this year’s gala or will it prefer to continue playing by its own rules as it has done in recent years? The only way to know is to wait until the early hours of December 7 to 8, the same date that could bring us the first GTA 6 trailer.
