Alan Wake II and Baldur’s Gate 3 lead 2024 New York Game Awards nominees

The New York Videogame Critics Circle has announced the nominees for the 13th Annual New York Game Awards and there are some familiar faces leading the charge.

Alan Wake II and Baldur’s Gate 3 have secured four nominations apiece, including nods in the Game of the Year category. Both titles are also in the running for the Best Writing and Best World awards.

Starfield has been nominated across three categories including Game of the Year, Best Writing, and Best World. Other major releases such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have also received multiple nominations.

There’s plenty of love for indie titles, too. A Space for the Unbound, Pizza Tower, Viewfinder, El Paso Elsewhere, and Chants of Sennaar are part of the cohort battling it out for the Best Indie Game prize.

Slay the Princess, Videoverse, American Arcadia, and Outer Terror all received nods in the Best Hidden Gem category, while Dead Space, Metroid Prime Remastered, and Resident Evil 4 were among those titles nominated for the Best Remake award.

The winners of the 2024 New York Game Awards will be announced during a ceremony at the SVA Theatre on January 23, 2024. During the event, Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann is due to be honored with the Andrew Yoon Legend Award.

Proceeds from the show will help fund the New York Videogame Critic Circle’s educational efforts and programs for 2024. You can find the full list of nominees below.
