Geoff Keighley himself, appearing as host and presenter, has in a Q&A on Reddit chatted a little out of the box. About 30 to 40 games are expected as well as a “whole series” of new game announcements. According to Keighley, many cinematic trailers will not be included. “There are a few that I remember, but generally a lot of gameplay,” said the Game Awards creator.

Overall, Keighley thinks this year’s Game Awards was a good show: “If everything works out and we can save a few surprises, it will be a very fun evening! I haven’t felt so good at a show in a long time.”

More and longer is not always better

Perhaps the implementation of fan feedback also contributes to this feeling, because the show is supposed to be significantly shorter this year than in previous years. Keighley revealed this in one of his regular Twitter Space audio streams.

“One thing we’re doing this year is we’re trying to make the show a little bit shorter. I won’t say anything official until we’re done rehearsing, but we think the show will be significantly shorter this year becomes.”

It was tiring for viewers, Keighley thinks. There were a lot of games that wanted to be part of the Game Awards this year, but the decision was made to cut these things down and thus go for a “tighter show” that contains fewer games.
