The Game Awards 2022 announces December broadcast date

It’s official: The Game Awards will return for 2022. The hybrid awards ceremony/trailer-premiering hype-machine will be held in Los Angeles and once again it will honor the best of the year in video games, as well as look into the future at releases coming in 2023 and beyond.

This year’s Game Awards will also introduce a new category of award called Best Adaptation. This award will be given to the best adaptations of game intellectual property. This could be a feature film, streaming show, podcast, novel, or comic book adaptation.

While trailers may be what the award show is best known for, last year’s version included Hollywood features as well as video games. The first trailer was presented by Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz at The Game Awards 2021. 2 and the show also debuted the first trailer for Paramount Plus’ Halo series. So it’s possible we will see more movie or TV series trailers at this year’s show as well.

You can stream the Game Awards 2022 on Twitch or TikTok Live. The show’s executive producers are Kimmie Kim and Geoff Keighley, who is likely to serve as host once again.
