The Game Awards 2024: Here’s the complete list of nominees

Team Asobi

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 ****** Myth Wukong getting into Game of the Year, although indies like Balatro and the family game Astro **** collected a big batch of nominations.

Leading the pack this year are Astro **** 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 ***** rounding out the top with 11.

The Game of the Year category (and by extension Best Game Direction since the nominees are identical) is a odd batch. While top nominees Astro ****, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio are represented, the other three are a surprise indie hit (Balatro), a DLC expansion to a previous Game of the Year winner (Shadow of the Erdtree), and a popular but critically-mixed action game (****** Myth: Wukong). Balatro got five nominees total, while the other two got four each.

Most of the other nominees were expected, although Silent Hill 2 getting a nomination for best narrative (the story was written over 20 years ago), 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.
