Produced by Geoff Keighley and Kimmie Kim, The Game Awards has become one of the industry’s largest annual showcases since its launch in 2014. Beyond recognizing the year’s best games, the event has evolved into a major platform for developers and publishers to unveil new titles and share updates on highly anticipated projects.
