Video games lack a definitive awards ceremony. While movies, music, theater, and television have events that have successfully marketed themselves as more prestigious than others, gamingās award season is a bit more of a free-for-all.
The National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers are closer to that elusive prestigious awards ceremony than others. The organization has released its list of nominees for 59 awards categories. God of War, Celeste, Red Dead Redemption 2, Marvelās Spider-Man, Monster Hunter: World, Subnautica, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are all up for NAVGTRās Game of the Year award. God of War leads the pack with a record 22 total nominations, though Marvelās Spider-Man is close behind with 21 nominations.
Even though the enthusiastic response for God of War is understandable, there is no clear -cut favorite among this yearās nominees. āWe have strong contenders for this yearās NAVGTR awards, including record-setting nominations by God of War and Marvelās Spider-Man,ā NAVGTR Corp executive director Thomas Allen said in a press release. āIt can be anyoneās day as there are a bevy of other amazing titles in the mix, such as Detroit: Become Human and Red Dead Redemption 2. We canāt wait to see which games come out on top.”
The ceremony will be held on March 13. A full list of nominees can be found here.
