The Game Awards is trying out virtual worlds. The awards show will be available to watch on the usual platforms. The creation tool Core can be used to create a "metaverse experience" for viewers.
Players will be able to watch the event within the Core experience, but also do things like attend a virtual version of the red carpet, along with several unique interactive experiences that are only available during the broadcast. There will be an afterparty with a DJ.
The metaverse is a growing trend of virtual worlds, all banded together under the same label, being used by everyone from Facebook to Fortnite. The expansion of the Game Awards makes sense since the show is already broadcast on a lot of platforms.
The Game Awards kicks off at 9PM on December 9th, and has historically been a place full of game reveals and big trailers. The publisher would not be involved with the show outside of its nominations after the revelations of abuse at the company.
