Are you satisfied with the list of nominees for this year’s The Game Awards? The anticipation is building as we await the announcement of the winners. With two games leading the pack with seven nominations each, it's sure to be an exciting event.
Just recently, Geoff Keighley, the mastermind behind The Game Awards, took to social media to reveal the full list of nominees for the upcoming event in December. And it's no surprise that Elden Ring has once again stolen the spotlight. Despite winning Game of the Year in 2022, the game has been nominated once again, thanks to its impressive Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC. Not only that, but it's also up for Best Game Direction and Best Art Direction.
Interestingly, the website for The Game Awards was updated a few days ago to state that DLCs are eligible for nominations in any category. So it's safe to say that it will be a hot topic of discussion this year.
But Elden Ring is not the only game to watch out for. Both Sony's Astro Bot and Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have also received seven nominations each, including a Game of the Year nomination for both.
Balatro has also received a well-deserved Game of the Year nomination, along with the amazing Metaphor: ReFantazio and the slightly less deserving Black Myth: Wukong.
For those curious about the categories and nominees, you can find the full list below. And while we are part of the judging panel this year, you too can cast your own votes for each category on The Game Awards website. Keep an eye out on December 2 for the nominees for the Player's Voice award, which is determined entirely by public vote.
Game of the Year nominees include Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Meanwhile, the Best Game Direction category features Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Other categories include Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score and Music, Best Audio Design, Best Performance, Innovation in Accessibility, Games for Impact, Best Ongoing Game, Best Community Support, Best Independent Game, Best Debut Indie Game, Best Mobile Game, Best VR/AR Game, Best Action Game, Best Action/Adventure Game, Best Role-Playing Game, Best Fighting Game, Best Family Game, Best Sim/Strategy Game, Best Sports/Racing Game, Best Multiplayer Game, Best Adaptation, and Most Anticipated Game.
And let's not forget about the Content Creator of the Year and the Best Esports Game, Athlete, and Team categories.
