Teasers and announcements
One of the biggest announcements was the one of Among Us, who informed players they’ll be getting a new Airship-based map somewhere soon which marks one of the biggest updates for the game since 2018. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate welcomes a new fighter in the form of Final Fantasy’s Sephiroth while Fortnite announced crossover events with Halo and The Walking Dead.

During The Game Awards we also got to see glimpses of both a new Mass Effect game as well as a new Dragon Age game (Dragon Age 4). One of the biggest surprises however might have been the gameplay trailer of Back 4 Blood, building on the legacy of Left 4 Dead. Finally, we also got to see a cinematic trailer for the reboot game of Perfect Dark.
One of the biggest winners at The Game Awards in 2020 was undeniably The Last of Us II, which took home awards for categories such as Game of the Year, Best Narrative, Best Direction and more. Among Us also managed to win some categories such as Best Mobile Game and Best Multiplayer Game. Hades took home Best Indie Game.
When it comes to esports and content creation we saw some familiar names take home awards.
