Despite the complications of the ongoing coronavirus crisis, there’ll be big new game reveals at The Game Awards 2020. Scheduled to stream around the world on 12th December, host Geoff Keighley explained that major publishers urged him to go ahead with the event – and have pledged big content reveals for the showcase.
“The thing that I’m worried about more than anything is that – there’s so much anticipation for the show – is that we don’t have big games to announce to the fans, then that becomes a disappointment too,” he told Variety. “So, I talked to all the game companies and they’re like, ‘No, we’ve got great content to kind of show fans around games,’ and they’re really excited to show that.”
As always, it’s important to keep your expectations in check, but we’d be shocked if Sony didn’t showcase something new for the PlayStation 5 during the event – it’s always had a very tight relationship with Keighley and his crew. It’s worth adding that the Japanese giant will likely be nominated for a lot of awards this time as well, as both The Last of Us: Part II and Ghost of Tsushima are destined to feature heavily.

Nope. No more big gaming news for 2020 please. Just release the consoles and the games, and get us to 2021.
My heart can't take any more.
He always says this though and then we get crap like Christopher Lloyd dressing up as Doc Brown to announce Surgeon Simulator 2.
KNACK 3 WHERE YOU AT
Dragon dogma 2 for the win .word up son
@KirbyTheVampire You're back!
F off with all the events. I dont want to hear anything game related from Sony (only new games or acquisitions) as their communication is so bad. Where is Herman Hulst?
Should be good, I do like Geoff’s nonsense.
@Octane Ayy, glad somebody remembers me, lmaoo.
Only Mr Domino Remastered can save us now
@KirbyTheVampire I can recognise a poor man's Splatoon from miles away.
@Octane As any true gamer should.
Is there any hope for any fighting games or a new jrpg's(I am fine with a remaster)?
@Gremio108 I believe you are the only other person to remember that game. What a ride that thing was.
I’m gonna be really annoyed if any game beats out TLOU2 for GOTY. Unless cyberpunk really is amazing (I have my doubts), TLOU2 should clean the floor with awards. Some of the best gameplay, visuals, audio and story I’ve ever experienced.
@Kidfried Much appreciated!
@Stragen8 yeah, the more i see of Cyberpunk, the less im impressed with it.
Most people will be too busy playing Tik Tok Simulator on XBSX to even notice they are on 🤣
@Stragen8 Hannah Montana the video game was pretty epic. Had top quality ps1 graphics (in 2011),music that sounded like a pencil in a chainsaw, and a number of crash times that's out beat a demolition Derby.
@rachetmarvel you've got more chance in getting a full remake of Manhunt
@Stragen8 im preeetttty certain that Cyberpunk comes out too late to be included in the nominations. I may be wrong but i think only releases up to October count. Anything other than TLOU2 or Ghost would be a bit of a travesty. As much as i'd love FF7 remake to be up there, ive not heard it spoken about in the same way as the other 2 releases
After all the hype went through with Gamescom Event, I wouldn't get excited anymore coming from Geoff. His recent event was a pure lackluster that he managed to keep showing the gameplay of Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart during the last minutes of the show was the only legitimate highlight they showed so far.
@nookie_egg Life-changing stuff
@Rob_230 @Stragen8
I agree and, in any other year, TLOU2 would be such a lock that the ceremony would be borderline superfluous, but I wouldn't be super surprised if they gave the trophy to Animal Crossing for being "the game we all needed in 2020".
@Ron22 yeah, i dont disagree with that. I nearly mentioned Animal Crossing. The numbers it sold have been INSANE. it at least needs to be included in the equation
@Stragen8 Agreed, it is, by all standards, an amazing gaming experience. I was almost thinking Ghost of Tsushima would win out, but after 30+ hours I've become bored of the story and rinse and repeat gameplay (not saying it's not awesome, just not the best). The Last of Us II for the win!
Guess this means we’ll be seeing God of War: Ragnarok, Elden Ring, Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Halo Infinite and other big games that we didn’t get any updates on at all throughout the year at this event. Lame that we won’t see any more about these games until then, but it gives me a reason to look forward to the end of the year I guess.
Hades should get a mention.
@Rob_230 That would be so disappointing - I’m glad people love Animal Crossing, and i hope it gets some love, but as far as moving the entire gaming industry forward, idk haha. TLOU2 is really the big standout game for me in terms of level design, enemy AI etc.
I'll keep on saying it. We need WiLD gameplay and release date.
@JesWood13 I'm glad someone here mentioned Elden Ring, is been awhile since it was last revealed. Hopefully is not in development hell.
@Stragen8 Agree with you, the whole TLOU 2 controversy was blown out of proportion.
I better not hear of more time exclusive garbage from Sony, I rather they just take that money that's going to something completely worthless and just give it to the homeless or something.
@zimbogamer after the emerging stuff about Ansel I wouldn't be surprised if someone breaks into Wild Sheep Studios and find the whole dev team mauled to death with teeth marks proving to be his.
@Juanalf Would you rather they just buy a major publishing house wholesale? Maybe scoop up Square or Rockstar?
