The Game Awards are back to celebrate the best titles of the year. Taking place in three studio locations — Los Angeles, Tokyo, and London — the event is hosted once again by executive producer and presenter Geoff Keighley, with special guest appearances from Brie Larson, Christopher Nolan, Gal Gadot, Keanu Reeves, Tom Holland, John David Washington, Reggie Fils-Amie, and more.
And of course, the ceremony wouldn’t be complete without some HUGE announcements regarding upcoming games. Last year’s event brought us the reveal of the Xbox Series X. How will The Game Awards top itself this year? Fans will just have to wait and see!
Gamers can watch the festivities live in the stream below:
