Exciting Nominees for Game of the Year

The nominees for the highly anticipated Game Awards 2024 have been announced, igniting discussions among gaming enthusiasts. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Geoff Keighley’s prestigious event, which honors excellence in interactive entertainment. The contenders vying for the coveted title of Game of the Year include:

  • Astro Bot
  • Balatro
  • Black Myth: Wukong
  • Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
  • Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth
  • Metaphor: ReFantazio

A Night to Remember on December 12th

The awards ceremony will be streamed live on December 12 at 8:00 p.m. ET across platforms like YouTube, with a pre-show kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET. As anticipation builds, a jury composed of international media outlets and content creators prepares to finalize their votes from this year’s nominees. Additionally, fans will have an opportunity to participate in an online community vote that will account for ten percent of each category’s final results.

A New Era for Expansions in Gaming Recognition

This year introduces a significant change as expansions are now eligible for the prestigious Game of the Year award—a first in TGA history. This shift aligns perfectly with notable releases such as Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and other major expansions like Destiny 2’s The Final Shape.

No Clear Favorites This Time Around?

Unlike last year’s standout titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate 3, this year’s competition appears more open-ended without clear frontrunners emerging early on. Could FromSoftware’s latest expansion finally secure its place among gaming royalty?

A Celebration Beyond Awards—What to Expect During The Event

The Game Awards serve not only as a platform to honor outstanding achievements but also as an exciting showcase featuring new game announcements and trailers interspersed with heartfelt acceptance speeches from winners—though time constraints often limit these moments.

Celebrities frequently make appearances during this star-studded event; however, one constant is Hideo Kojima—the legendary creator behind Metal Gear—who is sure to grace us with his presence and engaging commentary.
