The Gamescom Awards jury has announced the nominees for this year’s awards. The first prizes will then be awarded tomorrow evening as part of the Opening Night Live.
One of the criteria for the prize is that the game is also exhibited or displayed in some form. So the whole show will have to do without getting a Nintendo or PlayStation title.
The “Most Wanted Nintendo Switch Game” category doesn’t have a first-party game, just like the PlayStation counterpart’s category. But you do read games like Airhead, Edge of Sanity, Tin Hearts and One Piece Odyssey. Final Fantasy XIV isn’t even nominated for “Best Ongoing Game” – Square Enix is also missing.
That’s okay, because it gives games a stage that most major titles didn’t need anyway. So let’s see the good.
For the awards in the fan categories “Best Booth” and “Best Trailer/Announcement” you can register now until Friday 3:00 PM. be matched – of course, when this article was published, the voting had not yet started.
