'Tis the season of video game award ceremonies. The Esports Awards have been handed out, the nominees for The Game Awards have been revealed, and countless publications are preparing to release their annual games of the year lists. But all of that will have to take a backseat to the Golden Joystick Awards on November 16, starting at 3 p.m. GMT / 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET.
Our sister site, GamesRadar+, has tallied up the votes for its readers' picks for various awards and will be ready to reveal the results tomorrow in London at Bloomsbury Big Top. The awards will be hosted by Danny Wallace, who wrote and voice acted for numerous Assassin's Creed games, as well as several TV shows.
Here's what GamesRadar+ had to say about the award categories and how close the votes have been so far:
"With awards including Best Storytelling, Outstanding Achievement, Critics' Choice, Best New Streamer / Broadcaster, Most Wanted and Ultimate Game of the Year, some categories are separated by only a handful of votes. We look forward to you joining us on Nov 16th to see if your favorite game will collect a coveted Golden Joystick trophy."
