Having succeeded in becoming a real meeting point for the end of the year, the Game Awards will be held tonight from 12:30 am. Prize giving, guests, announcements of new games, this 2020 edition still looks very promising, and we are with you until the end of the night so as not to miss a thing. So get your plaids, tea or coffee ready, and take a seat.
A look back at the 2019 edition of the Game Awards
First of all, let’s remember that unlike this year, where the ceremony will take place remotely and in several places at the same time, the 2019 Game Awards were held on stage with an audience. At the end of the night, and after the presentation of many prizes, it is finally Sekiro Shadows Die Twice who won game of the year title. But what we especially remembered from the last edition is the official announcement of the Xbox Series X by Microsoft, accompanied by a trailer of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. The players were also able to discover the first game announced for PS5, Godfall, and attend the announcement of Bravely Default II, The Wolf Among Us 2, or a presentation of Ghost of Tsushima.
What to expect from the ceremony this year?
Held through thick and thin, the Game Awards 2020 ceremony will crown a number of games, teams and people, but will also be a place where new titles will be presented and announced. In the premier category, that of the game of the year, the nominees are as follows: The Last of Us Part II, Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing : New Horizons, Ghost of Tsushima and Hades. Some of them, like Ghost of Tsushima and and The Last of Us Part II are elsewhere present in many categories, let you discover in detail in the dedicated news.
According to Geoff Keighley, who organizes the evening, viewers can expect to experience a dozen new games. In parallel with these announcements, we should have news of many productions, some studios having already confirmed their presence. So, Dragon Age 4 will show itself somehow next to Crimson Desert from Hood : Outlaws & Legends, d’Elite Dangerous : Odyssey or even NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 …. Note also that demos should be offered simultaneously for some games.
Guests, but also surprises?
Like every year, we should be able to attend some surprises. Microsoft has already made an appointment, and many players are already making bets. Verra-t-on God of War : Ragnarok ? Metroid Prime 4 and the rest of The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild will they make an appearance? Various rumors also point to a possible presentation of a new Silent Hill, a remake for Metal Gear Solid or a proper presentation ofElden Ring, next game from From Software. On the guest side, we already know that Tom Holland will take the stage to, perhaps, unveil the trailer of the film Uncharted. To accompany him, we will find Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Christopher Nolan (Tenet, The Dark Knight, Dunkirk), but also Lyn Inaizume, the untenable Joseph Farès or Keanu Reeves.
