The Game Awards 2016 will be held just more than two weeks from now on December 1. All of the nominees were announced today, and it's a fantastic reminder that there were a lot of excellent video games this year.
Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End leads the nomination arms race with eight nominations. There's a three-way tie for second place between Firewatch, Overwatch, and Inside; each of those games received five nods. There are still plenty of incredible titles that didn't lead the way in nomination quantity, too. Games like Doom, The Witness, Stardew Valley, and Hitman all show up.
Plenty of space is reserved for stuff that might not be considered traditional categories yet. There's a Best VR Game category, since this is the first year that VR has actually been introduced to the consumers. The Trending Gamer is also back. Finally, three awards are dedicated to eSports.
These are just the nominees, though. We don't yet know who will bring home the hardware. We have to wait until December 1 to find out.
