The Game Awards celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024. The annual awards show and video game trailer extravaganza hosted by Geoff Keighley 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.
What reveals will be at this year’s Game Awards? Keighley hasn’t confirmed specific titles, 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.
To keep viewers entertained between reveals and acceptance speeches, The Game Awards 2024 will feature performances from musical artists Twenty One Pilots, D4VD, Royal & the Serpent, and Snoop Dogg of Fortnite fame. Expect appearances from Hideo Kojima — who has three games in development, with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, OD, and Physint — and Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake, both of whom will show up as presenters during the awards show.
In November, 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. Only one category at The Game Awards is voted on exclusively by the public: Players’ Voice. Fans can vote for their pick at the awards’ official website.
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.
This post will be updated with new information about The Game Awards 2024 as it becomes available.
