E-Sport News: THE GAME AWARDS 2019

The year is coming to an end, and The Game Awards are just around the corner. Now the nominees of the most important award ceremony of the game industry have been announced.

The Game Awards 2019 will take place in mid-December. Then the most successful games of the past year will be awarded again, but as usual, not only the well-known titles will play a role. Also, several new announcements can be seen again in the show of game journalist Geoff Keighley.

Nevertheless, it is first and foremost a prize-giving ceremony dedicated to the most important games of 2019. The most famous category will of course again be the game of the year, and here Control, Death Stranding and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice were nominated among others. These three games will also be nominated in other categories.

Players can vote for their favourites in the individual categories on the official website. Voting is also possible via Google, Amazon Alexa, Facebook Messenger, The Game Awards Discord or Twitter. The actual award ceremony will be broadcast live on the net on December 12th on 45 different services.
