Gaming’s biggest awards night returns on December 7 with The Game Awards 2023, and the nominees are in across more than 30 categories. As expected, it’s crowded at the top for nominations, with Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate III and Alan Wake II leading the way with 8 nominations each.
The big question (as with most years) is the Game of the Year Award. This year, Baldur’s Gate III and Alan Wake II are up for the award, but Nintendo has an edge with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is also nominated, as is Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake, which has three nominations in total.
Aside from Resident Evil 4 and Alan Wake II, horror gaming is represented by Lies of P (Best Art Direction and Best RPG), Dead Space (Best Audio), Diablo IV (Best Multiplayer and Innovation in Accessibility), Mortal Kombat 1 (Best Fighting Game and Innovation in Accessibility), DREDGE (Best Indie Game and Best Debut Indie Game), Resident Evil Village VR (Best VR Game), and Dead Island 2 and Remnant II (Best Action Game).
Returning from last year is the Best Adaptation category, and of course, the genre titles are here as well, with Castlevania: Nocturne, The Last of Us and Twisted Metal all being nominated.
Users can vote now in all categories via the official website for The Game Awards 2023, as well as the official The Game Awards Voting Bot on Discord. Voting ends on December 6 at 6:00pm PT/ 9:00pm ET.
