The Game Awards 2021 to feature 40 to 50 games

And some awards, we've been told!

The Game Awards 2021 isn’t just about awards: host Geoff Keighley has said that the event will also feature 40 to 50 games.

Speaking with Epic Games about the show, Keighley said that he and his fellow organisers have learned that games and game reveals were better received than celebrity appearances.

“It’s great to have celebrities, it’s great to have music, but I think focusing really on games is important,” he said. “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. What we learned last year was as that end of the day, it really is the games and the trailers that drive the show.”

Keighley continued on to say that the show would feature around 40 to 50 games in “someway or another” this year, with new game reveals numbered in the double digits.

The Game Awards 2021 will be livestreamed from Los Angeles on 10 December here in Australia. Stevivor is proud to serve as part of The Game Awards’ voting jury.
