The Game Awards has always been about celebrating games and the studios that make them and now Geoff Keighley and co. have decided to take that celebration even further with the newly unveiled Game Festival that will lead up to the main event.

The Game Festival is a 48 our digital event that will show off new gameplay – worldwide – for exciting upcoming adventures. With the Game Awards kicking off at 5:30 PM PT, the Game Festival will commence on December 16th, the same day, at 10 AM PT and will run until this Saturday at the same time. 

“Six years ago I bet everything I had to create The Game Awards as a way to celebrate our passion for gaming,” said Geoff Keighley, creator, The Game Awards. “Now feels like the right time to take the next step with The Game Festival, a completely digital approach to the consumer event space. Let’s face it: Not everyone can attend a physical trade show or consumer event. The Game Festival is designed from the ground-up as an event without barriers, extending the benefits of a physical event to the global gaming community that watches The Game Awards.”
