The Game Awards will debut on December 8 as an online and physical show that will be as close to the 2019 pre-pandemic event as possible, said host Geoff Keighley.

Keighley does not expect to see record viewing this year since a lot of things have been impacting games, whether it’s delays in titles or macroeconomic factors. But the team is proceeding with a show in the Microsoft Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles, as it can sell tickets to the public once again, said Keighley and producer Kimmie Kim in an interview with GamesBeat.
