Nominations for this year’s The Game Awards, the video game industry’s annual year-end celebration, will be announced on Wednesday, November 18 at 9 am PT via The Game Awards’ official Twitch, YouTube, and Twitter channels. This year, The Game Awards has introduced a new category for Innovation in Accessibility, honoring the software and/or hardware developers helping games be played and enjoyed by an even wider audience. Following the nomination announcement, fans will be able to help choose the winners in all categories via authenticated online voting on www.thegameawards.com
The Game Awards will take place on December 10 as a free digital livestream available across more than 45 global video platforms. Taking a virtual format, The Game Awards will adapt a multi-city approach to the 2020 broadcast, airing live in 4K UHD from studio locations with no in-person audience in Los Angeles, Tokyo and London. The three host cities for The Game Awards will be digitally connected for an innovative celebration with live award presentations, musical performances, and spectacular world premiere game announcements.
The Game Awards is executive produced by Geoff Keighley and Kimmie Kim. LeRoy Bennett returns as creative director for his sixth year, and Richard Preuss returns as director for his fourth year.
