This year almost every major event was canceled or went online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Game Awards 2020 won’t be an exception. The main organizer of this long-running show Geoff Keighley announced that The Game Awards 2020 will happen online and will be streamed to audiences worldwide on December 10th.

According to the announcement, The Game Awards 2020 will have a few broadcast locations set in Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. These cities “will be digitally connected for an innovative celebration with live award presentations, musical performances, and spectacular world premiere game announcements.”

While the show will be rocking a familiar format, there are also some new things coming. Organizers stated that this time around The Game Awards will feature a greater emphasis on interactive extensions on leading streaming platforms. This, of course, means that we can expect some Twitch drops, various demo versions, and more inclusive viewing experiences such as community votes and so on.

Another new addition is the new award category. On December 10th someone will get the first-ever game award for “Innovation in Accessibility”.

In any case, it’s nice to see that the show will be returning and fans across the world will be able to celebrate the best games made over the year. While we still don’t know the nominees, it’s fairly safe to assume the contenders for most popular categories. What are you expecting to see winning the most honors?
