It’s really snuck up but The Game Awards 2024 are just than 48 hours away. They’re taking place at a really good time for Australia in the middle of the day on Friday.
I feel like in terms of major events in the last 12-24 months, we know less about what’s going to be revealed here than in almost any event in recent times, with nothing leaking and not a lot of teases, which usually makes for a good show.

It feels like we don’t know a lot about what will be announced this year, but we do know that Hazellight (It Takes Two) will reveal their new game, Borderlands 4 will be there with a gameplay reveal, something Palworld will be on show and we will get the proper reveal for Mafia: The Old Country as well.
