Like the show itself which is happening on December 12, the nominees will be announced live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. The show it also celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, so it's expected to be more of a special event than usual, though it remains to be seen if there are any particular surprises in store beyond the usual awards and announcements.

As for the nominations themselves, there are plenty of standout games from this year that'll likely feature in multiple categories. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth , Metaphor: ReFantazio , Silent Hill 2 and Astro Bot are likely shoe-ins for the Game of the Year category.

The Nintendo Switch has also had a hell of a year, with releases including Mario & Luigi: Brothership , P aper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom . Expect the Kyoto-based company to have a strong presence at The Game Awards this year.

Of course, the other major draw of The Game Awards is its litany of game announcements and world premieres. We won't know what to expect until it
comes from Keighley himself, but it's reasonable to expect another look at upcoming games like Assassin's Creed Shadows and potentially Grand Theft Auto 6 . You might also like... PS5 Pro sales seem to be exceeding all
