The Game Awards ceremony this year will take place on December 12 and will showcase new footage of Borderlands 3, Mafia: The Old Country, and other titles.
The week is highlighted by the return of The Game Awards, a highly anticipated event in the video game industry. This year is particularly special as it marks the tenth edition of the event. The Game Awards is not only about the awards ceremony, but it also includes exciting announcements and live musical performances, making it one of the most entertaining shows of the year.
The 2024 event will kick off on Thursday, December 12, at 4:30 p.m. PT. The first half-hour of the show, known as the Opening Act, will be hosted by Sydnee Goodman and will offer a first look at some announcements and awards. Beginning at 5 p.m. PT, the official awards presentation will start, which usually lasts between three and four hours, so it's recommended to set aside the evening to enjoy it live.
As for how to watch the event, The Game Awards 2024 will be streamed simultaneously on multiple platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, X, Facebook, Kick, and Steam. Additionally, there will be many co-streaming options, allowing viewers to choose from a variety of sources to experience the event. While the presentation will also have a link to the YouTube stream, it can be accessed from different platforms.
Regarding expectations for this year, fewer games have been announced beforehand. However, new trailers for titles like Warframe: 1999 and Mecha Break are expected, along with the reveal of the fourth DLC for Tekken 8. Furthermore, new looks at Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country are anticipated, which will likely be some of the highlights of the event. Although the list of announcements is still limited, The Game Awards has been known for its surprises and shocking reveals.
In terms of nominations, the event also sparks debates among fans about which games deserve recognition. Some titles like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Dragon's Dogma 2 have received minor nominations, but others, despite their quality and popularity, have not been acknowledged. This has led to reflections on the validity of the nominations and which games should receive worthy attention.
With the arrival of The Game Awards 2024, expectations and discussions about the announcements and nominations are at their peak, promising a memorable celebration for all gaming enthusiasts.
