This year's Game of the Year race is packed with strong contenders, including *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33*, *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, and *Donkey Kong Bananza*. *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* has already made history with a record-breaking 12 nominations – the most ever for a single game at The Game Awards.

In a recent interview with The Game Business, producer Geoff Keighley discussed the challenges of balancing the different elements of the show. "There are many different constituents that tune in. And it is a balancing act," Keighley explained. "You correctly pointed out that there’s the awards aspect of the show, there’s the announcement aspect, and yes, there are some people that would like to see the show be all awards. Some would like to see all announcements."

Keighley emphasized that the announcements help attract a wider audience, ensuring that the awards themselves reach more viewers.
