The Game Awards, the video game industry’s annual year-end celebration, is set for its 10th annual show where we see which game will take out the major award for “Game of the Year”. In 2023 the list includes sequel titles like “Alan Wake 2” “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” and “Baldur’s Gate 3”.
Strangely an omission to the big award is “Starfield”, the Xbox exclusive from the creators of “Fallout”. However it did receive a nomination for best RPG where it is up against some very tough competition.
We don’t have long for the winners to be announced, December 7th at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles (In Australia it will be on the 8th of December at 11:30am). The huge event will be streamed live via The Game Awards website, social platforms and other video network.
