Don’t worry. The Game Awards shows cool games are coming in 2024 | The DeanBeat

The year isn’t over yet, but The Game Awards showed us last night that there are some awesome games coming in 2024.

It was a successful event with a big presence from the game industry’s who’s who at the Peacock Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. It was cool to see the performance of Poets of the Fall singing a musical routine of Old Gods of Asgard with the actors from the game and creative director Sam Lake dancing away amid pyrotechnics. Geoff Keighley’s awards show lived up to the reputation of being the biggest celebration of gaming, or the Oscars of gaming.
