2024 Game Awards Nominees Announced

The nominees for The Game Awards 2024 have been announced by host Geoff Keighley, showcasing six contenders for the prestigious Game of the Year award: Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. This year's competition appears less intense than last year's, which featured standout titles like Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Fans can vote for their favorites until December 12, when the awards will be live-streamed. Notably, expansions are eligible for the top prize for the first time, adding intrigue to the competition. The event not only celebrates gaming achievements but also serves as a platform for new game announcements, trailers, and reveals. The jury, comprising global media outlets, will determine the winners with public votes contributing to 10% of the results.
