The Game Awards is set to announce all the nominations for this year’s event on Monday and there has already been plenty of discussion about which games will be included in the various categories. The Game Awards website now says that DLCs, expansion packs, remakes and remasters are eligible for nomination in all categories, which is a very interesting development. The Game Awards 2024 take place on Thursday, November 12.
The Game Awards aim to recognize the best creative and technical work each year, regardless of the format in which that content is published. Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes and remasters are eligible in all categories, if the jury deems the new creative and technical work worthy of a nomination. Factors such as the novelty of the content and its price/value should be taken into account.
