Tonight’s Geoff Keighley extravaganza, The Game Awards as broadcast from Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, will indeed have game awards, though very likely not much our readers will care about. Notably, best “ongoing” game (bizarre) at least has Final Fantasy XIV and No Man’s Sky nominated alongside Fortnite, Helldivers 2, and Marvel Rivals. The same group, minus Marvel Rivals but plus Baldur’s Gate 3, is up for best community support. Split Fiction, Destiny Rising, Wuthering Waves, Battlefield 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Arc Raiders, Elden Ring Nightreign, Peak, League of Legends, Dota 2, Valorant, CSGO 2, and Genshin Impact are also up for awards. Yeah, it’s one of those years.
What you do care (at least slightly more) about is the deluge of previews and videos and (yes) commercials we’re about to get, so of course, we’re going to liveblog the marketing hoopla to corral all the important stuff right here. Watch along with us!

We have been instructed to buckle up so I guess we’re doing that now.

No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky took best ongoing game, and yes it’s still an idiotic category, but NMS deserves some love for this specific idea (pumping out content forever for free), so we’re here for it.

Diablo IV
The surprises just keep on coming! The next Diablo expansion, Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred is coming this April. #TheGameAwards pic.twitter.com/rGJEESv1Rc
