We’re at the beginning of the year, which means that a new Game Developers Conference will take place very soon. As you know, this means that a new edition of the Game Developers Choice Awards is very close, and today they revealed the nominees for the best of the year.
This year, the game on the list of nominees that stands out the most is nothing more and nothing less than Death Stranding, as it appears in 7 of the 10 categories. This is one of the games with the most nominations. Something similar happened last year when Red Dead Redemption 2 had the same number of nominations. Game of the Year may go to Death Stranding, but there are also a number of other competing titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Untitled Goose Game, Control, and Outer Wilds.
The Game Choice Awards are in charge of the International Choice Awards Network, a group made up of video game industry developers. They also choose all the nominations for this event. In other words, it’s not possible for the public to nominate or vote for the games.
Without further ado, we present the list of nominees below.
