The Game Awards 2020 is fast approaching, celebrating the best video games in a year that’s been anything but normal. The past few days have seen several celebrity presenters announced for The Game Awards, the latest being none other than the internet’s favorite celebrity, Keanu Reeves.
Beginning in 2014, The Game Awards is the creation of media entrepreneur Geoff Keighley. The awards show has seen its prominence rise each passing year, garnering over 49 million viewers in 2019. However, like all things during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Game Awards will look different this year.
A post from The Game Awards official Twitter account confirms Keanu Reeves as one of the presenters. He joins a list of other well-known celebrities, including film director Christopher Nolan and Captain Marvel actress Brie Larson. Presenting at gaming events is nothing new for Reeves, who hosted the full Cyberpunk 2077 reveal at last year’s E3. It’s currently unclear exactly what the actor will be presenting.
The delay actually pushes Cyberpunk 2077 out of consideration for this year’s awards, missing the release date cutoff point of November 20. However, its expected to earn quite a few nominations for next year, already getting largely positive reviews. This includes Johnny Silverhand himself, Keanu Reeves, who has not only played Cyberpunk 2077, but apparently “loves it.”
The awards show will also see several musical performances in addition to the recognizable presenters. Pearl Jam guitarist Eddie Vedder will be playing, as well as a performance of Persona 5 music from Lyn Inaizumi. For those who don’t know, Lyn provides the vocals on both the Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal soundtracks, which has many fans of the series excited. While many things are officially announced for The Game Awards 2020, there are perhaps even more surprises or reveals teased. Plenty of titles plan to premiere new gameplay trailers during the livestream, including Dragon Age 4, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and more. Plus, as notorious as gaming events are for dropping plenty of unannounced content, there’s likely to be even more for gamers to watch out for.
However, some gaming industry higher-ups want fans to temper their expectations. Head of Xbox Marketing Aaron Greenberg is warning people not to get too excited about The Game Awards. It looks like fans will just have to tune into the livestream to see who wins and what happens.
The Game Awards 2020 livestream begins December 10, at 3:30pm PST, and is available on over 45 streaming platforms.
