The nominees for the 2024 Sport Awards are in: This yr’s lineup is led by the PlayStation-exclusive Astro Bot and Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with seven nominations every together with Sport of the Yr. Balatro, a PC Gamer favourite, is within the working for 5 awards, and it additionally pleases me to report that after crushing the 2023 Sport Awards, Baldur’s Gate 3 is again for extra.
Larian’s RPG epic is simply up for one award this yr, which most likely comes as a reduction to all the opposite contenders. Baldur’s Gate 3 vying for the Greatest Group Help award, alongside Closing Fantasy 14, Fortnite, Helldivers 2, and No Man’s Sky. I’ve to suppose it is a favourite within the class: Larian’s post-launch assist for the sport has nothing in need of exceptional, and possibly much more impressively I am unable to consider a single Helldivers 2-style misstep it is made alongside the way in which.
The massive class, as at all times, is Sport of the Yr. Alongside Astro Bot and Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the 2024 nominees embrace Balatro, Black Fantasy: Wukong, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The indie hit Balatro, one of many extra insidious time-killers of the yr, can be up for Greatest Sport Course, Greatest Unbiased Sport, Greatest Debut Indie Sport, and Greatest Cell Sport.
