The Game Awards announced its nominees for its 2024 show on Monday, capping off a varied year for video games.
The games highlighted skew toward the typical batch of action and role-playing titles, like Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree bringing the FromSoftware juggernaut back to The Game Awards and Black Myth Wukong getting into Game of the Year, although indies like Balatro and the family game Astro Bot collected a big batch of nominations.
Leading the pack this year are Astro Bot and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with seven nominations each, while Metaphor: ReFantazio received six nominations. Sony Interactive Entertainment wins in terms of companies represented with 16 nominations, with Square Enix and Xbox receiving 12 each, and Sega rounding out the top with 11.
Recommended Videos The Game of the Year category is a odd batch. While top nominees Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio are represented, the other three are a surprise indie hit , a DLC expansion to a previous Game of the Year winner , and a popular but critically-mixed action game . Balatro got five nominees total, while the other two got four each.
Related Most of the other nominees were expected, although Silent Hill 2 getting a nomination for best narrative , Dragon Age: The Veilguard only getting one mention, and Star Wars Outlaws, a game that underperformed for Ubisoft, getting three nominations, are some of the stranger appearances on the list this year.
