To celebrate the event, Sony is currently holding a special Game Awards sale on the PlayStation Store.

Customers can grab discounts on games such as Deathloop, Resident Evil Village, Demon’s Souls, Hades, and Call of Duty Vanguard.

The sale ends on December 13, so you don’t have long to take advantage of the discounts.

As for game announcements, fans already have a pretty good idea about what to expect… or not.

Viewers will get a look at the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie, not to mention the next major Sonic game.

Volition will also treat fans to a Saints Row trailer, while Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Alan Wake 2 are also tipped to make an appearance.

Then there’s the Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo, which be unveiled during the event. Fans can download the tech demo now.

With Guillermo del Toro booked for the show, perhaps we’ll finally get that Silent Hill reveal we’ve heard so much about.

Sadly, it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer for Breath of the Wild 2 news.

That’s according to industry insider Jeff Grubb, who believes BOTW 2 won’t make an appearance until E3 2022.

The show will also feature a host of celebrities and musical acts, including Sting, Imagine Dragons, Jim Carey and Keanu Reeves.

“The Game Awards 2021 will feature a slew of world premieres across the games and entertainment industries, along with numerous celebrity guests including Ashley Johnson, Ben Schwartz, Giancarlo Esposito, Guillermo del Toro, Jim Carey, Laura Bailey, Keanu Reeves & Carrie-Anne Moss, Ming-Na Wen, Paul George, Simu Liu and more surprise guests along with special performances by Sting and Imagine Dragons.”

All eyes will be on the Game of the Year award, which is between Deathloop, It Takes Two, Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2, Ratchet and Clank and Resident Evil Village.

Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, Fortnite and Genshin Impact will compete in the ‘Best Ongoing’ category, while Death’s Door, Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Loop Hero are among the nominees in the Best Indie category.
