Over the last couple of years, the Game Awards has become an annual highlight that honors the biggest games and hardest workers in the gaming industry. It's also a night for big reveals, as the Game Awards usually has plenty of new games to show off, updates on highly anticipated titles coming out the following year, and the occasional reveal of a next-gen console that looks like a black monolith. So what can you expect from this year's Game Awards show?
A whole lot of hype, according to this latest trailer that sets the mood for Thursday.
While the hype trailer isn't giving away any clues as to which upcoming games you can expect to see in greater detail, it did shine a spotlight on some of the best titles of the year. Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Resident Evil Village, Deathloop, and It Takes Two are just of the games released this year that earned high praise from across the industry, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the creative output of 2021. Expect some of the award categories of 2021 to be hotly contested.
The Game Awards will be streaming live on its official YouTube and Twitch channels, along with direct feeds on social media sites like Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter and right here on GameSpot.
Host Geoff Keighley will once again be on stage, and this year he'll be joined by Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Giancarlo Esposito, JackSepticEye, Donald Mustard, Ming-Na Wen, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, and several other co-hosts.
