Η αντίστροφη μέτρηση για τα φετινά The Game Awards - τα οποία θα διεξαχθούν στο Microsoft Theater του Los Angeles - έχει αρχίσει, με τον Καναδό δημοσιογράφο και εμπνευστή του θεσμού, Geoff Keighley, να αποκαλύπτει τη λίστα με τις φετινές υποψηφιότητες, ανοίγοντας παράλληλα και την ψηφοφορία του κοινού!
Στη λίστα με τους διεκδικητές του βραβείου Game of The Year δεν υπάρχουν εκπλήξεις, ενώ τα Control, Death Stranding, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Resident Evil 2, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice και The Outer Worlds φιγουράρουν ήδη σε περισσότερες από μία κατηγορίες (και όχι άδικα).
Όσοι επιθυμείτε να ρίξετε το «κουκί» σας, η διαδικασία ψηφοφορίας για την ανάδειξη των μεγάλων νικητών έχει ήδη ξεκινήσει, μέσω Google και Bilibili.
Η φετινή απονομή θα πραγματοποιηθεί τα ξημερώματα της Παρασκευής 13 Δεκεμβρίου (και ώρα Ελλάδος 3:30) και θα προβλήθεί ζωντανά μέσω Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Oculus Venues και σε επιλεγμένες κινηματογραφικές αίθουσες (ΗΠΑ).
