10 "World Premieres" Slated for 2015 Game Awards

Next week's 2015 Game Awards will feature 10 "world premieres," show organizer Geoff Keighley has announced. Writing on Twitter, he also says there will be 10 awards handed out on stage.

The 10 world premieres aren't necessarily all game announcements, as something like a new trailer or other "reveal" could be considered a world premiere if it's never been seen before. Whatever the case, we'd be surprised if there weren't a few bonafide announcements to get excited about.

As for the on-stage awards, these are likely to be for the marquee categories like Game of the Year and other genre winners. The remaining winners will be announced off-stage. You can see a complete list of award categories and nominees here.

The 2015 Game Awards takes place Thursday, December 6, starting at 6 PM PDT. GameSpot will host a livestream and we'll have all the news, trailers, and award winners for you as they're released.

The show, which is expected to run two hours (down from three last year), will also feature musical performances by Deadmau5 and Chvrches. On top of that, it sounds like Star Wars writer Garry Whitta will have some role to play in the show, though what this is remains to be seen.
