The main event will last two and a half hours, totaling at least three hours of presentation. Fans will be able to follow it on various streaming platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, TikTok Live, and IGN, among others.

An event that promises a lot
Among the surprises that could be announced during the ceremony, rumors suggest that Valve might reveal the long-awaited Half-Life 3, while new trailers for titles like Blade, Wolverine, and Silent Hill: Townfall are also anticipated. Additionally, Evanescence will perform live, singing their song Afterlife from the Netflix adaptation of Devil May Cry. These announcements and performances are part of what makes The Game Awards one of the most anticipated events in the video game industry.
Regarding the nominations, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out as one of the favorites to take home multiple awards. However, the ceremony has also left some fans disappointed, as critically acclaimed titles like Deltarune and Keeper did not receive any nominations. This kind of “snubs” often generates debate among followers and players, adding more excitement to the awards presentation.
As the date approaches, players and gaming enthusiasts are preparing for an event full of excitement and surprises that, in addition to rewarding the best in the industry, will serve as a platform for revelations that could change the landscape of video games in the coming year.
