As for where to watch it, you can head over to The Game Awards Twitch channel or, if you want to be one of the cool kids, you can just park yourself right here and watch it with us via the YouTube embed just above.
As we touched on earlier, it sounds like Keighley has a lot up his sleeve this year. We aren't exactly sure of everything that'll be revealed, but it's looking really likely that we'll see a brand new Sonic game debut during the show. We know for a fact that former Mass Effect and Dragon Age boss Aaryn Flynn's new studio will reveal a new online RPG at this year's show. As for the awards portion of the show, nominations include multiple nods to Deathloop, Psychonauts 2, and more.
