THE GAME AWARDS 2020: tutte le info!

Data, orario e nomination dei Game Awards 2020.

L’anno è giunto al termine e, come ogni Dicembre dal 2014 a questa parte, lo show di Geoff Keighley radunerà i videogiocatori di tutto il mondo per premiare i titoli che più abbiamo amato durante questo 2020.

• Le Nomination

Quest’anno, purtroppo, ha portato con sé tantissime situazioni scomode. È anche vero però che è stato sicuramente cruciale per il mondo videoludico.
Il passaggio tra una generazione di console e l’altra (con Xbox Series X/S e PlayStation 5), la scoperta di nuove IP come Ghost Of Tsushima e l’uscita di sequel di tutto rispetto come The Last Of Us: Part II, hanno sicuramente alzato l’asticella dell’aspettativa dei videogiocatori, e il The Game Awards 2020 ne è la prova.
Il momento di tirare le somme è arrivato, e anche quest’anno l’ideatore e conduttore dell’evento Geoff Keighley, annuncerà il tanto atteso Game Of The Year.

“The Game Awards 2020” si terrà la notte tra il 10 e l’11 dicembre, dalle ore 01:00 italiane sui canali Twitch e YouTube “The Game Awards”.
Andiamo a vedere insieme i giochi che si sono distinti durante la serata delle nomination (svoltasi il 18 novembre 2020) per concorrere nelle categorie principali.
