The quintessential gala of the video game world will be held this year between Tokyo, London and Los Angeles
Through Variety it has been announced that despite the global pandemic, there will be The Game Awards gala this year, specifically on December 10. Given the circumstances, it will be a digital event, broadcast live from three locations: London, Tokyo and Los Angeles in 4K and via 45 different video platforms. One of the objectives of this format will be to make it more interactive, so that the public can interact more through social networks, streaming platforms and in-game events to be announced.

In the report that serves as the starting signal, its executive producer and presenter, Geoff Keighley, acknowledges that he never had doubts that the event would take place, but was not clear on how to present it, considering the option of a low profile from home. But once he spoke to his board of directors and various senior video game company executives, the message they conveyed was to “do it, and do it big.” Hence the idea of doing it in three different locations was born, although Keighley also cites Death Stranding and his goal of “connecting locations” as inspiration, a new recognition of that special relationship that the figure has with Hideo Kojima.

The Game Awards has become a fixed date for the video game industry and one of the beacons to gauge which have been the most successful games of the year. Although all publications (and all individual users) have their own list of favorites for the year, the impact and audience of the gala means that its results always attract attention and are taken into account. Along with the fact that important announcements of new games and trailers are often produced here as well. We recall that in last year’s edition Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice won the precious “Game of the Year”, as well as the best adventure of the year, while Death Stranding won “best direction”, the Spanish Gray won the award for “game of greatest impact” and the Ukrainian Disco Elysium became one of the big winners, winning best RPG, best Indie, best narrative and best revelation indie studio.
