Countdown to The Game Awards 2024: Nominee Reveals and Exciting Announcements Ahead

The anticipation for The Game Awards is building as details about the upcoming nominee announcements have been shared. Geoff Keighley, the show's host, has set the stage for an exciting reveal early next week.

In a recent update on social media, it was confirmed that the nominees will be disclosed on Monday, November 18th. Supporters can listen in for the 2024 Nomination Special, which will be streamed live starting at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT on the official The Game Awards website.

The announcement will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, coinciding with the show's tenth anniversary. This milestone suggests that the event may offer something extra special, although it is yet to be revealed what surprises might be in store besides the standard awards and announcements.

Regarding the nominations, there are numerous memorable titles beginning this year that are expected to be highlighted in several categories. Games such as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, also known as ReFantazio, along with Silent Hill 2, and Astro Bot are expected to emerge as strong contenders for the coveted Game of the Year award.

The Nintendo Switch has also experienced an exceptional year, featuring notable releases such as Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and The Legend of Zelda: Whispers of Insight. A significant representation from the Kyoto-based company is anticipated at this year’s awards.

In addition to nominations, a key highlight of The Game Awards is the plethora of game announcements and world premieres. While the specific details will be unveiled by Keighley, it seems likely that audiences will get another glimpse at upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Shadows and possibly Grand Theft Auto 6.
