Today, Geoff Keighley and the organizers behind The Game Awards announced that this year’s Game Awards are set to take place live from The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on December 8, 2022. Like last year, the show will be streamed across multiple platforms including YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok and at select IMAX theaters, a partnership that started earlier this year with Summer Game Fest. More information on the show plus information on tickets will be revealed in the Fall.
Geoff Keighley also announced that The Game Awards 2022 will introduce a new category. Best Adaptation will recognize outstanding work adapting video game IP to other entertainment forms. “We will celebrate shows, movies, books, podcasts, comics + more that authentically adapt the source material,” Keighley said.
Talking about collaborating with IMAX and bringing the show to select theaters, Megan Colligan, President, IMAX Entertainment and Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. said “we are thrilled to be a part of these rapidly growing events. The two video game events are a part of IMAX’s continued efforts to diversify its content portfolio with more live and interactive events and we are looking forward to being part of them for years to come.”
“Video games are the most powerful, immersive and spectacular form of entertainment in the world, so it’s only natural to bring them to fans in IMAX, the world’s most immersive cinema format,” said Keighley.
