Green Day Are Making A Video Game-Related Announcement This Week

At the 2019 Game Awards, Green Day have a secret announcement planned.

This week at the 2019 Game Awards, Green Day are set to make a video game-related announcement.

The news follows the announcement that the punk rock trio will be performing at the event alongside CHVRCHES. Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley has kept things vague regarding what Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool could be revealing alongside the performance, simply stating that they have a “really awesome video game announcement they’ll be making”.

The 2019 Game Awards will be streaming this Thursday (December 12) from 8:30pm EST / 5:30pm EST, so stay tuned to find out more. Of course, Billie Joe and co. have been involved in the video game world before, when Green Day: Rock Band was released back in 2010. Given that they've already conquered the musical side of things before, will this new announcement see them branching out into a different area?
