The Game Awards 2024 – All Nominees Announced

The Game Awards 2024 are coming on December 12, and all of the nominees for the 10th annual award show have been announced.

This year’s show features 29 categories with dozens of games and studios up as nominees. Compared to last year’s event, there are three less categories.

One clarification this year as well is that expansions, game seasons, DLCs, remakes, and remasters are eligible for all categories if the jury deems them “worthy”. With that announcement days before the reveal of the nominees, it seemed clear it was targeted for those questioning if Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred would be eligible for awards.

Check out the full list of award nominees, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
