Geoff Keighley, the organizer and host of The Game Awards 2023, has assured fans that security will be significantly enhanced to prevent any stage invasions. Keighley made this announcement during a recent Q&A livestream on Twitch, although he did not provide specific details to maintain the element of surprise. Last year’s show was marred by an incident where a 15-year-old child interrupted the acceptance speeches with nonsensical remarks about Bill Clinton. Keighley’s commitment to tighter security measures aims to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the event.
Keighley acknowledged the concerns raised by these incidents and emphasized the importance of keeping both himself and the audience safe. The ease with which the culprits accessed the stage highlighted the need for improved security measures. While the previous incidents were relatively harmless, they underscored the potential risks to the safety of attendees. Keighley’s promise of tighter security is a welcome response to these concerns, and its effectiveness will be put to the test during The Game Awards on December 7th.
In addition to addressing security, Keighley also provided some insights into the upcoming show. He mentioned that this year’s event will be similar in length and content to the previous year’s, but slightly shorter. Keighley also revealed that the traditional “world premiere” cards will no longer be used, as they are moving towards treating all game content as equally significant announcements.
