The Game Awards – Das sind die Nominierungen 2017

Lesezeit: 5 MinutenNachdem die Video Game Awards 2013 in ihrer bis dahin anhaltenden Form aufhörten zu existieren, übernahm Geoff Keighley das Ruder als Solist. Da er zuvor schon als Organisator und Produzent der Veranstaltung tätig war, fiel es ihm wohl nicht schwer die Sendung fortzuführen. Seit 2014 hostet der Spielejournalist nun die sogenannten The Game Awards.

In diesem Jahr findet die Veranstaltung am 07. Dezember statt. Natürlich könnt ihr die Veranstaltung auf den gewohnten Kanälen wie zum Beispiel YouTube, Twitch und Twitter verfolgen. Mehr Infos zur Veranstaltung findet ihr auf der Homepage der diesjährigen Veranstaltung. Wer dann schlussendlich die Trophäen einstreichen kann, erfahrt ihr natürlich bei uns.
