The Game Awards pre-show is going to have five world premieres this year. Hosted by Sydnee Goodman of IGN fame, the opening act of this massive celebration of video games as a medium looks to be just as exciting as the show itself.
Goodman hosted the pre-show for last year’s Game Awards, too, voicing her excitement over returning to do it all over again this year. “Stoked to be back,” Goodman stated on Twitter. “And even more excited for you all to see what’s coming on Thursday!” Of course, she gave no sort of hint as to what might be there, unfortunately.
Keighley made the pre-show announcement earlier today on Twitter, which you can check out for yourself below.
Goodman is only one of several presenters and hosts making an appearance at The Game Awards. It’s a stacked roster featuring industry giants like Reggie Fils-Aime, former President of Nintendo Of America, to celebrities like Brie Larson and Gal Gadot. And of course, who could forget Troy Baker and The Swedish Chef! Because video games don’t make sense to begin with and neither should a show dedicated to them.
We still have no idea which premieres might make it on the pre-show, but hints are all over the place. It’s been confirmed that Dragon Age 4 will make an appearance in some form. However, that’s likely to be on the main show. It’s a safe bet that anything slightly-big probably won’t be on the pre-show, at least in terms of world premieres or gameplay debuts. But who knows! In the past, the Game Awards pre-show runs for over an hour in and of itself, so the chances for big announcements are there.
On Thursday, December 10, when The Game Awards goes live, we will find first-hand what those world premiers are. Until that, all we can do is speculate. Just a crumb of Elden Ring would be nice, though. Please, Geoff. From Software fans are in mighty need of it.
