Not only are The Game Awards still happening this year — they’re taking place in three different locations.
The 2020 ceremony will stream live from Los Angeles, London and Tokyo on Dec. 10, it was announced on Wednesday, airing in 4K UHD from audience-less, in-studio locations. It will stream across 45 global video platforms and, barring a live audience, see fans “participate and virtually interact with the show across social media, through live in-game experiences, and via interactive extensions on leading streaming platforms,” according to the announcement.
Additionally, this year’s ceremony will introduce the new innovation in accessibly award, recognizing software and/or hardware developers that are pushing the medium forward by adding features, technology and content to help games be played and enjoyed by a wider audience. The Game Festival, first launched last year, will also return, featuring a weekend of playable game content, in-game drops, demos and live-streams.
