The inaugural Game Awards show will set the stage for as many as twelve “world premieres”, the event’s producer has announced.

Geoff Keighley, a broadcast journalist who helped establish the new awards event, made the promise on his personal Twitter account, stating “this Friday night we will showcase more than a dozen world premieres.”

It is unclear how many of these premieres will be of new, previously unannounced games. One already confirmed is Metal Gear Solid Online–the multiplayer component of Konami’s 2015 title, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. GameSpot understands that at least one other “premiere” will showcase a game already announced and far into development.

The Game Awards 2014 will take place Friday, December 5, starting at 6 PM Pacific / 9 PM Eastern / 2 AM UK. GameSpot will bring you all the winners as they’re annnounced.

Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Hearthstone, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor are up for the top prize of overall Game of the Year.
