Game Awards 2021 predictions for winners and new announcements, and gamers scattered throughout other time zones may be wondering when and where to tune in. Here's a comprehensive guide of what time The Game Awards 2021 starts and where it can be watched.
Rumors have already started cropping up regarding which future releases will get highlighted during The Game Awards 2021. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum are just two of such titles, and there are sure to be many more unexpected surprises throughout the duration of the show, which usually lasts about three hours. Trailers and premiers are usually some of the most anticipated segments of The Game Awards, perhaps even more so than the awards themselves, so anticipation is high with less than 12 hours to go before the event starts.
The Game Award 2021's roster of nominees up for awards includes quite a few popular titles from throughout the year, including Deathloop, Nintendo's Metroid Dread, co-op game It Takes Two, Psychonauts 2, and Resident Evil Village. Separate categories for indie games and different genres make the selection pool even broader - coming up to a grand total of 40 to 50 Game Awards games, in fact - meaning that fans of all sorts of games will find it worthwhile to tune in and see which releases are taking home awards this year. For those unable to attend the in-person and invite-only presentation straight from the theater, a comprehensive list of viewing options have been posted on The Game Awards' official website.
