Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024. The annual awards show and video game trailer extravaganza returns on Thursday, Dec. 12 for a night that aims to celebrate the year’s best and biggest games, while giving viewers sneak peeks of games to come.
On Monday, organizers revealed the nominees for 2024’s The Game Awards, with Astro Bot, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth garnering the most nominations, including Game of the Year.
What reveals will be at this year’s Game Awards? Keighley hasn’t started teasing that just yet, but 2025’s calendar is loaded. We could get fresh looks at upcoming releases like Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Judas, and South of Midnight. Keighley’s good friend Hideo Kojima has no less than three games in development, so we might also get a peek at Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, OD, and/or Physint.
Last year’s Game Awards was announcement-packed, with reveals for Marvel’s Blade, Light No Fire, Exodus, and many, many more. Sega alone announced new Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and Crazy Taxi games during the 2023 awards show.
