The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley has confirmed that the show’s nominees will be announced early next week.
In a message at X/Twitter via the official The Game Awards account, Keighley confirms that the nominees will be announced on Monday, November 18. The 2024 Nomination Special event will be streamed live at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT on The official website of the Game Awards.
Like the show itself, which takes place on December 12, the nominees will be announced live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. The show is also celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, so it’s expected to be a more special event than usual, although it remains to be seen if there will be any special surprises in store besides the usual prizes and announcements.

As for the nominations themselves, there are plenty of standout games from this year that will likely appear in multiple categories. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Silent Hill 2 And Astrobot are probably shoes for the Game of the Year category.
The Nintendo Switch has also had a great year, including releases Mario & Luigi: BrotherhoodPaper Mario: The Millennial Door And The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Expect the Kyoto-based company to have a strong presence at The Game Awards this year.
The other big draw of The Game Awards is of course the litany of game announcements and world premieres. We won’t know what to expect until it comes from Keighley himself, but it’s fair to get another look at upcoming games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and potential Grand Theft Auto6.
