A marketing executive at Microsoft's Xbox One division has explained the company will not showcase any new platform-exclusives at The Game Awards on Friday.
Geoff Keighley, the show's producer and host, recently claimed that the event will provide "more than a dozen world premieres," which has spurred fans to ask Microsoft's executives whether they have anything lined up.
But Aaron Greenberg, the marketing lead for Xbox, has poured cold water on the prospect by announcing on Twitter: "Since many have asked we are not planning any new game announcements @thegameawards. Looking forward to watching a great show however."
This does not rule out the possibility of multiplatform game reveals, however. One demonstration already announced for the show will be Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Online; the multiplayer component of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
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 announced.
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.
Dark Souls II, Hearthstone, Shadow of Mordor, and South Park: The Stick of Truth lead the way with three nominations each across all categories. Meanwhile, Nintendo was the most nominated publisher with 12 nominations.
Below is a breakdown of nominees by category. Nominees were selected by a jury of 28 international media outlets, including GameSpot and sister site Giant Bomb.
