December is now upon us and with it also The Game Awards, the annual appointment with Geoff Keighly aimed at rewarding the best video game of the year, with many announcements and reveal during the evening. As usual, the timetable is not the best for us Italians, but if you want to spend the night to discover the Game of the Year 2021 here is all the information, including dates and times, you need to follow the The Game Awards 2021.
The Game Awards 2021: date e orari
For this year The Game Awards will take place in the night between 9 and 10 December, more precisely at 02:00 in the morning. No information has been shared regarding the duration of the event, but we can expect a show similar to those of previous years, with a pre-show of about an hour and a showcase of two, for a total duration of three hours. , then until 05:00 in the morning.
You can follow the event on the official Twitch channel, but we take the opportunity to remind you that we at Tech Princess will follow the event live right on our account on the viola site, which you can find simply by following this link.
We also remind you that the video games in the running for the title of Game of The Year are Deathloop, It Takes Two, Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart e Resident Evil Village. Instead, Returnal and Forza Horizon 5 are missing, two absences that have not failed to cause discussion during the past few weeks.
Given that The Game Awards are often also the scene of important announcements, it cannot be excluded that we will receive some news regarding the most anticipated video games of 2022, such as God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West ed Elden Ring. These last two video games should arrive next February and it is therefore plausible to see them again before their official launch.
Geoff Keighley anticipates many news
Geoff Keighley, the historic host of The Game Awards, is already stirring up l’hype anticipating that event this year “It will be crazy”. According to the showman, this time we will focus mainly on the next gen, with a myriad of announcements that will have as protagonists are the two new consoles from Sony and Microsoft. Here is his full statement:
“The Game Awards wouldn’t really be the Game Awards without some surprises and announcements. People joke online because I always say it’s going to be great, it’s going to be the biggest and the best show ever, but really: this year’s line-up is… crazy. There are a lot of great things in the industry, a lot of companies will have new announcements for the show – Keighley writes – I think this year’s show will really give you a sense of ‘next generation in gaming’: PS5 and Xbox Series X arrived last year and had great games, but I think we’ve only barely scratched the surface. When the show is over, you will have a clear idea of what the new generation will be like with several, fantastic moments of in-engine gameplay. Of course we have a lot of teasers and cool announcements for the future, so if all goes well – and I usually put it this way because you never know what the internet can speculate and understand – yes, we have a lot of nice surprises and it will be one. truly special show. “

Despite the doubt that the conductor is magnifying the event there, it should be emphasized that his enthusiasm is understandable, given how 2021 has developed up to now, or how a year of transition, in which we had to deal with a lot of waiting and little meat on the fire at the level of thick releases.
We therefore hope that with The Game Awards we will also overcome that watershed that will lead us to the heart of the new generation of gaming.
