As transcribed by ResetEra user Meelow, The Game Awards 2022 will still air with its usual share of award presentations, interviews with developers, as well as trailers and release date announcements. However, Keighley confirmed it will be shorter compared to the showcase from last year with “fewer bigger games”. Yet, despite all the cutbacks, Keighley reassures its audiences that they can still expect “some really great announcements” from “amazing studios” on December 8. The Game Awards 2022 will be held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The highlight is the Game of the Year announcement, currently being contested most strongly by God of War: Ragnarok and Elden Ring. Fans are also tuning in to find out more about a smorgasbord of upcoming video games, specifically those arriving early next year. This includes confirmed involvements by Tekken 8, Final Fantasy 16, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Several other games could be a part of this year’s showcase as well, like Diablo 4, Death Stranding 2, and the next game from Hazelight Studios.
