The Game Awards 2021 este un spectacol de premiere pentru cele mai bune jocuri ale anului. Evenimentul va avea loc in Microsoft Theatre, in Los Angeles, in data de 9 decembrie 2021.
The Game Awards 2021
Ieri a fost anuntata lista cu nominalizari. Orice joc lansat inainte de 19 noiembrie a putut fi luat in considerare. Membrii a 103 de puncte media de vanzare au nominalizat jocurile.
Castigatorii vor fi determinati in proportie de 90% de juriu, si 10% de votul publicului. Votul publicului se realizeaza prin social media (Facebook, Twitter sau Bilibili).
Creatorul si producatorul The Game Awards 2021, Geoff Keighley, spune ca evenimentul ,,poate fi castigat de oricine”. Desi anul acesta competitia e stransa, Keighley declara ca prefera evenimente precum The Game Awards 2018, cu rivalitatea dintre God of War si Red Dead Redemption 2.
In ciuda unui release cu multe probleme, Cyberpunk 2077 a fost si el propus pentru doua categorii.
