The 2022 Game Awards featured a heaping helping of the all the video game news and trailers that weren’t announced during Summer Game Fest. Geoff Keighley, host of the Game Awards, has been slowly teasing information on what fans can expect ahead the even, asking cryptic questions and tweeting pics of his bestie, Hideo Kojima.
