The Game Awards 2020, produced by Geoff Keighley, was held on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. ET / Friday at 5 a.m. IST. It is a virtual ceremony as the Covid-19 is a pretty common reason everywhere.

The Game Awards 2020 virtual ceremony was aired live from Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo, which was live-streamed on over 45 platforms globally, including YouTube and Twitch.

The Last of Us Part 2 simply swept the night show with a total of 7 awards, such as Game of the Year (the big one), Direction, Narrative, Audio Design, Innovation/Accessibility, Action/Adventure, and performance for Laura Bailey.

“More than anything and I know I speak for the whole team, we’d like to thank our friends and family to who stuck by us while we were making this game. You continue to inspire us in making better games but also in how we make these games”

– The Last of Us creator said.

The other big winners include Square Enix’s “Final Fantasy VII Remake” (Score & Music and RPG), “Hades” (Indie Game and Action Game), “Among Us” (Multiplayer Game and Mobile Game), and “Ghost of Tsushima” (Art of Direction).

The special guest appearances include,

In addition to the awards, TGA also acts as a big stage for announcements and reveals every year; this year is no less. There are some big reveals and exclusive looks. Those included the addition of “Final Fantasy VII’s” Sephiroth as the next “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” fighter, a tease of the next “Dragon Age,” and a look at the latest “Among Us” map.
