The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Revealed: Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Lead

In the realm of digital entertainment, The Game Awards unveiled its 2024 nominees during a momentous occasion that marked the culmination of a diverse year in the world of video games. The selection of games highlighted leans towards the customary assortment of action and role-playing titles. Indeed, FromSoftware’s titan, “Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree,” makes a triumphant return to The Game Awards stage, while “Black Myth Wukong” secures a spot in the coveted Game of the Year category. Noteworthy mentions also go to indie gems like “Balatro” and the delightful family-oriented game “Astro Bot,” which received a plethora of nominations.

At the forefront of this year’s lineup are “Astro Bot” and “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth,” each receiving an impressive seven nominations. Following closely behind is “Metaphor: ReFantazio” with six nods. In the battle of representation, Sony Interactive Entertainment emerges victorious with a total of 16 nominations, closely followed by Square Enix and Xbox, each garnering 12 nominations, with Sega rounding out the top tier with 11 nods.

As anticipation builds for the revealing of the winners at the event on December 12, the category for Game of the Year (mirroring the Best Game Direction nominees) presents a curious mix. While familiar titles like “Astro Bot,” “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth,” and “Metaphor: ReFantazio” grace the list, unexpected contenders such as indie darling “Balatro,” a DLC offering from a previous winner (“Shadow of the Erdtree”), and the polarizing action game “Black Myth: Wukong” shake up the competition. “Balatro” secures a total of five nominations, while the latter two boast four each.

The vast array of nominees spans across various categories, with a few surprises surfacing. An intriguing inclusion is “Silent Hill 2” receiving a nod for Best Narrative, despite its story being penned over two decades ago. Conversely, “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” only manages to secure one mention, while “Star Wars Outlaws,” a title that fell short of expectations for Ubisoft, surprisingly clinches three nominations.

The forthcoming event promises an exciting extravaganza filled with game reveals and trailers. Below, you’ll find the complete roster of nominees for The Game Awards 2024:
