Every year since 2014, Geoff Keighley has hosted The Game Awards, an annual event that gathers together developers across multiple video game companies and celebrates the best video games from that given year. As tradition, before the main event of awarding the title of "Game of the Year", new games and projects are announced and teased for the following year. Last year's event saw the reveal of Soul Calibur VI, Bayonetta 3, Shadows Die Twice, and more. With The Game Awards 2018 almost upon us, Keighley has begun teasing the upcoming show, saying that this year will have the biggest lineup of new game announcements ever, alongside major content updates to existing titles.

It’s a big event for the industry. I’m really proud that we have so many companies on the same stage, putting competition aside to share a first look at where games are going in 2019 and beyond.

Another thing you'll see this year — yes, we have new game announcements, but we also have a lot of ongoing games. People keep playing games as services, and they'll have updates around new content and features that may get revealed at the show. Maybe it's not a new game announcement, but it's something that will matter to a massive player base around the world. That's new and evolving. Last year, with PUBG, we announced Miramar, their second map. We revealed that at the show. That was a big moment. I think you'll see more of that kind of thing with a lot of different games this year.

The Game Awards 2018 will take place on December 6th.

Half life three finally!

I love Doritospope. He just always has this dead look in his eyes like he has resigned himself to what his life has become.

 

[Windaga]

Maybe we'll get another Bayonetta 3 trailer?

It's the day before the launch of Smash, too. Should be interesting to watch .

Persona 6????? danganronpa 4??? pls god i begg of you

 

[Xzi]

Wouldn't be surprised to get a PS5 announcement, but I guess Sony might want to announce that at one of their own events.

 

[kingtut]

death stranding most likely.

Persona 6????? danganronpa 4??? pls god i begg of you

Danganronpa is finished and the creator has quit Spike Chunsoft and created his own company with a few other developers iirc

Only because it is being forced upon.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Wouldn't be surprised if we got new info about Smash Bros. Ultimate, considering this takes place the day before the launch.

Is it unreasonable to expect Shrek SuperSlam 2?

 

[Enryx25]

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3!

 

[The Frenchman]

They should stream that show in VR... actually they should stream all award shows in VR and also all gaming conferences...

 

[the_randomizer]

I bet they'll be XB1 and PS4 games and nothing for Switch, just out of pure spite.

 

[ZachSZ]

I hope their production is equal or even better than what it was last year. Last year was amazing, last year was better than the PSX Event, granted that was literally a podcast.

he is referring to online games like overwatch, fortnite and pubg, not the gaming services like ps now.

 

[Wuigi]

The ending of Danganronpa V3 was so bad, like a clumsy attempt to recreate the MGS2 ending in a different setting but with a new beginning for the characters tacked on to be able to make the inevitable sequel, abysmal.

 

[KingVamp]

I was referring to all the overuse of microtransactions and pay dlc in games, in general.
