Who will be crowned next at the Belgian Game Awards 2020?
Following the footsteps of last year’s winners, such as Divinity: Original Sin 2, Flotsam, Space Pirate Trainer and more, this year’s best games and studios from Belgium will be rewarded in 10 different award categories. The organizing committee is honoured to have reached a never seen number of games running for the 2020 competition, with nearly 50 projects submitted.
The Belgian Game Awards show, hosted by Jeroen Baert, will take place on February 21, 2020 at 8.30pm at Kortrijk Xpo, as part of 1UP Conference & Expo. The gaming convention, offering three days of pure gaming madness, brings gaming-enthusiasts from Belgium and beyond together. Its first edition earlier this year gathered around 3,000 visitors. After such a success, the event is getting bigger and will come back in 2020, from February 21 to 23.
