Game Awards 2014 is a new game awards show to take place on December 5th in Las Vegas. It seems these are looking to fill the gap left by Spike's VGX Awards, which have not been announced for this year, as they are produced by Geoff Keighley, who was executive producer of VGX. They have an advisory board populated by the major publishers, and according to Keighley, "the entire game industry" has rallied behind this:

Today I'm proud to announce The Game Awards 2014, a new show that will be coming in just one month's time. After spending over two decades working in games media, this year I'm creating a new independent celebration for our industry.

Starting out on a new path is never easy, but I'm deeply humbled to have the entire game industry rally behind this new celebration. In the coming days and weeks there will be much more to tell you about what's planned for December 5 at the AXIS Theater in Las Vegas, including information on the awards, the world premieres and much more.

More than ever our industry -- the fans, the developers and the media -- need to unite and show the world the power of games. I look forward to celebrating with you on December 5, whether you join us in person in Las Vegas or online.
