Mark your calendars and get these predictions in as a result of The Game Awards returns on December eighth. Geoff Keighley’s award show / marketing sizzle reel will probably be held on the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles for the present’s ninth 12 months.
We have a date!

This is the ninth 12 months for this system through which followers and journalists vote for his or her alternative of winners in classes like Content Creator of the Year and Best Narrative Game.
The hallowed Game of the Year award can also be doled out in the course of the ceremony, which inevitably causes weeks of discourse when the flawed (or proper, avid gamers are fickle) sport will get chosen or when the winner’s developer will get on stage and does a meme. Last 12 months, the overwhelmingly enjoyable if just a little narratively dissonant It Takes Two was chosen because the GOTY over video games like Psychonauts 2 and Deathloop. (Those video games have been solely final 12 months? Sheesh.) This 12 months, Elden Ring is the clear GOTY favourite however with God of War: Ragnarok imminent, it could be unseated.
If you possibly can’t wait till December to get some extra of that candy, candy Keighley-tonin, fret not: Opening Night Live, the kickoff occasion to Gamescom 2022, is tomorrow at 2PM ET.
