The Game Awards 2023 Nominations is Out!

What’s your Game of the Year?

The Game Awards Home Page

The nominations for The Game Awards 2023 have been announced. The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony, celebrating the whole year of gaming and also honoring achievements in the video gaming industry or community.

The 10th annual Game Awards show will be hosted at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on December 7, 2023. Live streaming on different platforms, such as YouTube and Twitch, is also provided, so no worries.

For the event, there is another main component that attracts gamers and game journalists to tune in, which is: new game announcements and trailers! That’s why this is sometimes quite anticipated among the gaming community, as there are often surprises that will pop up.

Since this article will just be an introductory article, let me just briefly introduce how voting and nomination work in this event, and cover some main topics.

Nomination and Voting

From their FAQ, it states that:

​​Nominees for most categories of The Game Awards are chosen by an international jury of over 100 global media and influencer outlets, selected for their history of critical video game evaluation.

Specialized juries also convene for other categories including esports, accessibility, and best adaptation.

So, basically, in most (if not all) categories, the nomination process begins with over 100 video game publications and websites, which collectively name six games as nominees. After all nominees are selected, the winner is chosen by a combined vote between the juries (90 percent) and public voting (10 percent).

So, if you want to participate in the voting system, you can just register an account and cast your votes.

Categories

List of The Game Awards Nominees

There are a total of 31 categories involved, which vary from the game components themselves (narrative, music, art-style, etc.), different gaming genres and platforms, the gaming community such as content creators, as well as esport-related categories.

I think this is quite good, as the vast categories make more space for the other games, instead of only a few games potentially dominating the nominations.

Credits are given to independent game developers, soundtracks, and game accessibility too, which is always a good thing.

Biggest Winner among Nominees? (for now)

Among all categories, there are two games that got eight nominations each, including the much anticipated Game of the Year.

These two games are:

As for the publisher, Nintendo is The Game Awards’ most nominated publisher in 2023, with 15 nominations total.

2023: A Good Year of Gaming

Honestly, I think that 2023 is a great year for gamers, as there are certainly a lot of games that just cannot fit into the list of the limited six nominees.

Games like Hogwarts Legacy, Armored Core 6, and Final Fantasy XVI are really good, yet they did not manage to make it into several big nominations like Game of the Year. Besides, this is not even the full list of the great games released in 2023.

This certainly shows that this year is a great year for gamers. Are there any games released in 2023 that you wish that people pay more attention to?

2023 Game of the Year

The Game Awards: Game of The Year Nominees

Here comes the most anticipated category, the Game of the Year! Here is the list of the candidates:

  • Alan Wake 2
  • Baldur’s Gate 3
  • Marvel’s Spiderman 2
  • Resident Evil 4
  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

As big of a Nintendo fan as I am, I think, needless to say, I would give my vote to Baldur’s Gate 3 every chance possible, having spent hundreds of hours on the first month of the release.

While I think that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may put up a good fight, I still think that Baldur’s Gate 3 would still snatch this title effortlessly, given the overall impact and discussion among the community.

It’s hard for me to think of a CRPG (Computer Role Playing Game) having this much of an impact in 2023. And it’s certainly earned its reputation, having massive amounts of content, story, and voice-acting. I think the developers certainly achieve something, and it’s the exposure of this genre to a much wider audience than before.

Everyone’s Game of the Year is subjective and personal, so what’s yours?

Conclusion

2023 is certainly a good year for gaming. Now let’s wait for the event then!

The article is quite short, as I don’t want to spend too much time on the super-detailed, so I will just be covering the brief information. You can visit their website to see more of the nominees yourself later.

But still, here’s a question for the readers: What is your 2023 Game of the Year? Is there any story or reason?
