The Game Awards reveals the complete list of 2023 nominees

venturebeat.com:

The Game Awards holds its tenth ceremony later this year on December 7, where it’ll honor the games voted the best of the year. It’s not going to be easy, as 2023 has been an embarrassment of riches with regards to good games. Several of the games that have already received this year’s highest acclaim made it onto the list, including Baldur’s Gate 3, Resident Evil 4, Alan Wake II and Tears of the Kingdom.

We’ve already had one major gaming awards event this year, The Golden Joystick Awards. Baldur’s Gate 3 swept many of that event’s categories, so it might make for a point of comparison for The Game Awards. This also marks the second time The Game Awards gives awards for Best Adaptation, as more and more games become fodder for Hollywood and small-screen adaptations.

The Game Awards 2023 airs live on December 7, 2023 in Los Angeles. GamesBeat will be holding its Pixels to Pop Culture event earlier that day.

Here’s the complete list of nominees below.
