It seems like everything has an awards show of sorts, and for video game, The Game Awards has been an ongoing process to deliver a fun and memorable experience. Last year especially, the team behind the show made big strides to truly appeal to many, and it worked. And now, host and creator Geoff Keighley has revealed when the next show is coming:
Over the past eight months, I’ve quietly traveled the world to talk with the creators who inspire me. When we sit down, I ask a simple question. “Why do you keep creating?” No matter what happens in our lives or in the world, the act of creation is a deeply personal, spiritual, and fulfilling pursuit, filled with sacrifice and challenge, but fueled by the opportunity for impact. At their best, games make us feel alive.
Today, I am happy to share the date for The Game Awards. Thursday, December 12. This year’s show will celebrate the act of creation, as I turn the stage over to a group of visionary teams selected to share their new projects with you.
I’m honored to be given this platform to celebrate our shared passion on a global scale. You’ll hear much more in the coming weeks about our plans for the fifth anniversary show. It will be very special.
Aside from awards, developers tend to reveal brand new games or expansions for key titles. Last year we got the announcement of Joker in Smash Bros Ultimate (the first of the DLC characters) and more. So who knows what’s coming this year?
