De jaarlijkse show waar de beste game van het jaar wordt gekozen en nieuwe game aankondigingen worden gedaan voor de komende twee jaar, zal ook dit jaar plaatsvinden.
Wel gaat het dit jaar een digitale show worden in plaats van een fysiek evenement in Chicago, Amerika.
The Game Awards 2020 zal plaatsvinden op 10 december 2020. De show zal live uitgezonden worden in 4K-resolutie. Zie hieronder de volledige press release van presentator Geoff Keigley.
“In 2020, video games have connected and comforted us more than ever, and that makes the 2020 edition of The Game Awards our most important show ever,” said The Game Awards creator, producer, and host Geoff Keighley in a press release. “Our team is working hard to deliver an innovative and thoughtful program that celebrates excellence, previews the future, and amplifies important voices that are shaping the future of this medium.”
Without an in-person audience, viewers and co-streamers will be able to participate and virtually interact with the show across social media, live in-game experiences, and via interactive extensions on streaming platforms such as Twitch. Additional details will be announced at a later date.
The Game Awards 2020 will also present a new award called “Innovation in Accessibility,” which “recognizes software and / or hardware developers that are pushing the medium forward by adding features, technology, and content to help games be played and enjoyed by an even wider audience.”
