News | Nominations for The Game Awards 2019 announced
The nominations for The Game Awards 2019 have been announced.
The six games that have a chance to win the prize for game of the year are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Control, The Outer Worlds, Death Stranding, Resident Evil 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Smash Bros. Ultimate appeared at the end of 2018 and could therefore no longer participate in The Awards last year.
