The Game Awards Times australia 2024

The Game Awards Are Happening Today And You Can Watch It Here

It's nearly time!

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.

WHAT’S GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED AT THE GAME AWARDS

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.
