Game Awards 2018 expected to have more than 10 reveals, including Rocksteady Studios rumoured Superman Game

The annual Game Awards will take place on December 6, 2018 and will be broadcast live on YouTube, Twitch and Mixer. The event will take place at 5:30 pm PST on December 6, which translates to December 7, 7 am India time. If you have a 4K TV, you can enjoy the game awards in 4K on YouTube. One of the biggest highlights of the Game Awards each year are the game announcements that take place. Sometimes we see new trailers or footage for upcoming games and at other times, games are announced for the first time during the show. In the past we have seen announcements for titles Like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain at the game awards, so we can expect some AAA announcements this year as well. If information circulating the internet is to be believed, then we can expect more than 10 announcements at this years show. Some information points to the reveal of the much-rumoured Superman game by Rocksteady Studios. For those that aren’t aware, Rocksteady is the studio that broke the curse of bad superhero games and gave us the Batman Arkham franchise. The studio is said to be working on a Superman game. Another studio expected to make an announcement at the Game Awards is Obsidian Entertainment. For those that aren’t aware, Obsidian is the studio behind games like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Fallout: New Vegas and South Park: The Stick of Truth to name a few. Since the host of the show, Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima are close, we expect Death Stranding to be a part of the event. Information circulating the internet suggests that the game is in its polishing stage and one can hope that a release date for the game could be revealed. That is wishful thinking as Sony would like to reserve the release date announcement for their own event. Nonetheless, we can hope for a new trailer of the game to make an appearance. With less than a week to go for the awards, host Geoff Keighley tweeted, “We have such an incredible show coming together for next week. More than 10 new games will be announced for the first time during #TheGameAwards plus updates on existing titles too. We will share some teases in the days to come....” If you are one that is interested in the awards and the nominations, below is the complete list of award categories and the nominations.
