Определены победители крупнейшей отраслевой премии в игровой индустрии.
The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry, started in 2014 by game journalist Geoff Keighley. And as always, Keighley was once again the host of the night. The Game Awards are not only here to recognize and reward the creative and technical excellence in the gaming industry, but it also gives creators and publishers another medium where they can introduce their products and give fans some exclusive looks into upcoming titles.
The show included a musical performance from the popular singer Hozier, as well as celebrity hosts like Academy Award winner Al Pacino, Jessica Henwick, Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson from the movie Knives Out: Glass Onion.
Many highly anticipated games were also featured on the night such as Steet Fighter 6 and World Premieres for Final Fantasy XVI and Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Another exciting trailer was for the new Hellboy game, Web of Wyrd, which will feature actor Lance Reddick as the titular character.
