While the lineup for the 2021 Game Awards is available exclusively on Core, Axial Tilt is a world that exists in many instances in the Metaverse, most recently launched earlier this year on Fortnite Creative (card 0960-3147-4924 in ‘Island Code tab). The two versions of Axial Tilt offer a similar look and feel, however the mini-games and worlds are slightly different and there will be a transition between them in the future.

“I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to introduce The Game Awards to new audiences,”said Geoff Keighley, creator, executive producer and host of The Game Awards. “The emergence of new metaverse platforms such as Core and the vast virtual experiences they provide during live events have presented an incredible opportunity to give fans a new interactive way to experience the show. And given that this is interactive entertainment, it seemed ideal. ”
