Tune in on December 5 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET to watch a livestream of The Game Awards 2014.
Video game broadcaster Geoff Keighley is unveiling The Game Awards 2014 as the première show for big game announcements and awards in the game industry. The show will replace the decade-old VGAs, which Keighley previously hosted as a glitzy, Hollywood-style awards event where the game industry anointed its rock star developers.
The Game Awards 2014 promises to be equally glitzy and includes the support of the biggest companies in the gaming business. The show will take place on Dec. 5 starting at 6 pm at the Axis Theater in Las Vegas.
Keighley has rounded up some marquee advisory board members, including Reggie Fils-Aime (President and COO, Nintendo of America), Yves Guillemot (Co-Founder and CEO, Ubisoft), Hideo Kojima (Director, Kojima Productions), Shawn Layden (CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America), Peter Moore (COO, Electronic Arts), Rockstar Games, Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox, Microsoft), Martin Tremblay (President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) and Valve.
The show will have both awards and world premieres. It will also focus more on game developers and industry and include eSports and community awards, so that both game developers and game players can be honored on the same stage. The show won’t be televised on a particular channel, but it will be livestreamed around the globe. The show will feature musical performances, but it will be built around the idea that video games are at the center of modern entertainment and culture, according to Keighley.
“The Game Awards 2014 will celebrate our collective love of games and the passion we all hold in our hearts for this incredible entertainment medium,” said Keighley. “Gaming has never been stronger, and this year we will recognize the fastest-selling launch year in history for new game consoles, the rise of eSports and mobile gaming around the globe, and preview the games that will make 2015 the biggest year yet.”
