In an interview with Epic Games, Game Awards creator Geoff Keighley shared a bit more about what we can expect from this Game Awards event. According to Keighley, The Game Awards 2021 will feature the “biggest lineup yet of world premieres and announcements”, with around 40 to 50 games planned to be shown.
Keighley about Game Awards 2021
You know, it’s great to have celebrities, it’s great to have music, but I think focusing really on games is important, Especially this year, there’ll be a lot of content for 2022 and 2023 that will be showing us our kind of biggest lineup yet of world premieres and announcements.
It’s definitely a very busy year in terms of the number of games we’re being pitched. We’re blessed that pretty much every developer and publisher wants to have some degree of content on the show.
…awards are about half the show, and the other half is the announcements and premieres.
Past Game Awards shows have played host to a number of big reveals for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch, including the likes of Bayonetta 3, Sephiroth to be featured in Supers Smash Bros. Ultimate, and many many more. Be sure to stay tuned on this year’s show date of December 9th for all the information as it comes.
