Op 7 december zullen The Game Awards weer uitgereikt worden en Geoff Keighley, organisator, heeft via de officiële website bekendgemaakt welke games er allemaal genomineerd zijn. Hieronder tref je alle nominaties per categorie aan en het goede nieuws is dat Horizon: Zero Dawn maar liefst vijf keer is genomineerd.

Of de game van Guerrilla Games ook vijf prijzen in de wacht gaat slepen is natuurlijk afwachten. De game zal het niet gemakkelijk krijgen, want het heeft geduchte concurrentie van Super Mario Odyssey en The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
