Keighley has now revealed that TGA 2024 nominees will be announced on Monday, November 18. The full list of contenders for this year’s accolades will initially be detailed as part of a livestream that’s scheduled to kick off at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 6pm CET. The nominees will then be listed on the TGA website shortly afterward.
The Game Awards 2024 Fan Voting Will Run Until December 11
As was the case in the past, most The Game Awards winners will be decided by a blended vote, with a specialized jury contributing 90% and public fan voting accounting for the remaining 10% of the results. In previous years, public voting typically commenced immediately following the announcement of the nominees. This will plausibly also be the case in 2024. Most fans will be able to cast their votes via the TGA website, except those from China, who will instead be asked to participate via BiliBili. Public voting will close on December 11, at 6pm PT / 9pm ET.
Potential TGA 2024 GOTY Nominees
- Astro Bot
- Balatro
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
In terms of potential GOTY candidates, there’s a bit more uncertainty in 2024 compared to recent years. Baldur’s Gate 3 and Elden Ring won the ultimate honor at the last two editions of the event, but they were also some of the biggest favorites to do so, as underlined by the fact they were among the most nominated The Game Awards contenders in their respective years. This time around, the likes of Astro Bot, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio all seem like more or less equally strong contenders, at least if critical acclaim and fan adoration is any indication. Other potential TGA 2024 GOTY nominees include Black Myth: Wukong, Balatro, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
As is tradition, TGA 2024 will be live-streamed via multiple platforms, including YouTube and Twitch. The Game Awards 2023 broke its own viewership record with over 118 million livestreams, a 15% year-on-year increase, underlining its status as one of the industry’s biggest events of its kind.
