Geoff Keighley has announced that The Game Awards 2020 airs on December 10th! It will be an all-digital, no in-person audience event airing from 3 different studio locations:
- Los Angeles
- London
- Tokyo
The show will be hosted in 4K and features a new accessibility award to be presented. Additionally, The Game Awards includes game announcements and reveals that makes it an annual spectacle. Here’s what Geoff Keighley had to say via The Hollywood Reporter:
“I think the big opportunity that it presents to us is being a little bit more global in our rollout of the show, so normally the world comes to Los Angeles for the game awards physical event, and now we’re really taking the show to the world and being able to connect with more people and more places,” Keighley tells The Hollywood Reporter. He goes on to say that it’s always been his dream to do The Game Awards somewhere else in the world. “Tokyo is a a huge area for game development, Europe’s really important, and we’ve never been able to do that just because of logistics.”
“It was really important to me that we did a live show, and not something that was pre-recorded, because the magic of winning these awards live and the reactions — I would never want to do anything to disrupt that,” says Keighley, who has been doing mass Zoom calls with game fans from around the world, in addition to running the Summer Game Fest for the last several months.
“Our show has always been driven by the community, and we recognize gamers actually in the show — we have a content creator of the year award — creators are part of the gaming ecosystem and they really bring these games to life,” he says.
Like last year, The Game Awards 2020 features demos, game sales, in-game drops via Twitch and much more for viewers. We can’t wait to see what gets revealed at The Game Awards this year. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest gaming news and updates!
