The Game Awards 2018 have revealed their nominees, but what can we expect to happen between the award announcements? We already know Obsidian Entertainment will be revealing something big, and now some of the show’s presenters have been announced by showrunner Geoff Keighley.
As you’d expect, the presenters are a bit of a mix – you have your popular streamers like Ninja and Pokimane, and random celebs they were able to get like Christoph Waltz and, uh, Pepé the King Prawn, but there are also some names that may hint at something more. Avengers movie directors the Russo Brothers will be there – could Square Enix be showing off their mysterious Avengers project? Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers and the unpredictable Josef Fares (A Way Out) will also be at the show.

Who else are you expecting to see at the show? I’d say Hideo Kojima is pretty much a lock as he and Kieghley seem to be pretty good buddies, and hopefully Reggie Fils-Aime shows up with some new Nintendo goodness.
The Game Awards 2018 emanate live from the Microsoft Theater in LA on December 6.
