The Game Awards return December 8th with a new category for adaptations

<p>Companies already use The Game Awards to pitch related movies and shows (https://www.engadget.com/halo-tv-paramount-plus-trailer-035553340.html), but now the event will officially recognize those productions. Organizers have revealed that the 2022 Game Awards (https://thegameawards.com/news) will take place December 8th with a new Best Adaptation category. Companies will receive statuettes for any project that translates games to &quot;popular media,&quot; including movies, TV series, podcasts and books.</p><p>The event will not only retain an in-person component, but extend that to theaters. The Game Awards will offer a live &quot;IMAX Experience&quot; in cities worldwide. While more details are due in the months ahead, it's safe to presume you'll get a richer audiovisual presentation as you watch ceremonies and game trailers.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The creation of an adaptation category isn't surprising. This year has had a flurry of game-inspired media, including the long-in-the-making Halo TV series (https://www.engadget.com/halo-tv-review-paramount-plus-171705080.html), a well-received Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (https://www.engadget.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-beats-box-office-record-173929050.html) movie and an anticipated (if unspectacular) Uncharted film (https://www.engadget.com/uncharted-movie-review-tom-holland-mark-wahlberg-190043901.html). This gives The Game Awards a chance to capitalize on the trend, of course, but it could also reward those studios that do justice to favorite gaming franchises.</p>
