Game Awards: what to expect

God of War: Ragnarok, Stray, Elden Ring, A Plague’s Tale: Requiem or Pokémon Legends: Arceus… The crème de la crème of video games to be released this year will compete in one of the most anticipated events in the video game world of the year. The Game Awards, which can easily be viewed as the Video Game Oscars, will take place on Thursday 08 December between 01:30 and 04:30 French time. A schedule reserved for the more adventurous, although presenter Geoff Keighley has promised viewers will be able to go to bed earlier than earlier.

A ceremony that should therefore distribute a total of 31 prizes (the names of which are available by category below), but not only. As with previous editions, announcements are expected from editors. For example, trailers for Sonic Frontiers and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PC were released last year. What can we expect from Thursday evening? No announcement of a new iteration of Mortal Kombat according to the main actors But there could be a new Doom game: the rumors are based in particular on the presence of the DoomGuy in which Fortnite Chapter 4. Final Fantasy XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida, present on the call, is likely to announce the title’s release date, while the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orden sequel could be presented alongside Tekken 8. In any case, the appointment is made!
