read from dualshockers:

The Game Awards’ own Geoff Keighley confirmed that the show will indeed transpire later this year. Keighley said that he has been asked quite a bit about the event in recent months and verified that it won’t be delayed at all. While not committing to a specific date, this seems to indicate that The Game Awards will take place in December just as it does every year.

However, even though TGA will occur this year, it obviously will not be doing so with thousands of people in attendance. Instead, Keighley has said it will take place entirely online. And while that might make the show naturally seem smaller in scope, Keighley has said the opposite is actually true. “We’ll share more in the coming weeks about it, but it’s actually probably going to be our biggest show yet,” Keighley said. He also went on to say that this year’s show will also still be live and won’t be pre-recorded.

Read an update from gematsu:

The Game Awards 2020 will air live on December 10 across more than 45 global video platforms, The Game Awards announced.

This year’s show will broadcast in 4K resolution from studio locations with no in-person audience in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and London. These three host cities will be digitally connected for a celebration complete with live award presentations, musical performances, and world premiere game announcements.

“In 2020, video games have connected and comforted us more than ever, and that makes the 2020 edition of The Game Awards our most important show ever,” said The Game Awards creator, producer, and host Geoff Keighley in a press release. “Our team is working hard to deliver an innovative and thoughtful program that celebrates excellence, previews the future, and amplifies important voices that are shaping the future of this medium.”

Without an in-person audience, viewers and co-streamers will be able to participate and virtually interact with the show across social media, live in-game experiences, and via interactive extensions on streaming platforms such as Twitch. Additional details will be announced at a later date.

The Game Awards 2020 will also present a new award called “Innovation in Accessibility,” which “recognizes software and / or hardware developers that are pushing the medium forward by adding features, technology, and content to help games be played and enjoyed by an even wider audience.”

The show also confirmed that it will serve as a launch pad for a weekend of instantly playable game content, in-game drops, demos, and live streams, and special discounts across all major console and PC platforms on nominated games and more. The Game Festival will also return on Steam with limited time playable demos on upcoming games from both “major studios” and independent developers alike. More details on The Game Awards Sale and The Game Festival will be announced in November.
 
Keighley just said Titles Released in Previous Years Can Qualify for GOTY at The Game Awards, read from dualshockers:

Keighley said that games such as Among Us and Hades, which while they may have formally come out a few years back, are absolutely able to qualify for various awards at the show. “If people decide that Among Us is one of the best games of 2020, the fact that it came out in 2018 — totally fine by me,” he expressed.

Keighley took his whole explanation one step further and said that with the way games continue to grow and change over time, he wouldn’t be surprised if one day there is a game that wins Game of the Year in back to back years at The Game Awards. “I treat our show now sort of like the Emmys treats seasons of TV shows. Breaking Bad can win Best Show two years in a row at the Emmys because it has two seasons, right? So why can’t Fortnite win Game of the Year four years after it came out if that was the best [of the] year compared to every other game out there?” Keighley posed.
