FULL STORY
======================================================================

Geoff Keighley, the host of The Game Awards, says that the awards show will 
have tighter security this year to help keep everyone safe. 

When asked during a recent Twitch livestream if more security measures are 
planned to be implemented to prevent stage crashers, Keighley replied: Yeah, 
we are. We dont want to talk about that stuff too publicly, just because, you 
know, its security, and we definitely have plans, and were trying to do all 
we can to keep me safe, but also everyone watching the show, the audience, 
people participating in the show and everything. 

Its something were certainly thinking about, and we appreciate the concern, 
he continued. Believe me, thats something that is top of mind for us, but we 
also want to put on a great show that celebrates these games, and celebrates 
our love of video games, so thats an important thing to keep in mind as well. 
But yeah, I appreciate the concern around that, thank you. 

This comes after an individual managed to get on the stage alongside 
FromSoftware during the 2022 awards show, when the studio was collecting its 
Game of the Year award for Elden Ring . They were able to speak into the 
microphone before being escorted off the stage by security. 

On top of that, another two stage crashers briefly interrupted Gamescom 2023s 
Opening Night Live event in August, one of which managed to stand next to 
Keighley and speak into his microphone before security intervened. At the 
time, Keighley said: Thats just so disappointing. This is such a special 
night for so many developers, its really disappointing to see someone act 
that way. 

The Game Awards 2023 will take place on December 7, streamed live from Los 
Angeles. This year, the six games battling it out for the coveted title of 
Game of the Year are Baldurs Gate 3 , Resident Evil 4 (2023) , Alan Wake 2 , 
Super Mario Bros. Wonder , The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and 
Marvels Spider-Man 2 .
