It’s that time once again: awards season. The Game Awards is back for its 2024 edition and announced today all the nominees that will be vying for glory and some little golden statues.
The headliners, of course, are for Game of the Year, the most prestigious award handed out by Geoff Keighley and company every year. Last year, it was Baldur’s Gate 3 that ran away with it. But there are also awards honoring voice acting, narrative writing, and technology in addition to many different genres of games.
Did your favorite game of the year make the cut? Here are all the nominees.
