The Game Awards 2020 Nominees Announced - Hades, Ghost of Tsushima, TLOU2 Lead

by Sam Aberdeen on 19 November, 2020

Last night, Geoff Keighley announced the full list of nominees for The Game Awards 2020. While there were a few upsets (Demon's Souls missed the limo ride, apparently), most of the nominations were pretty spot-on and deserving. Unsurprisingly, the hit indie title Hades became the standout star of these nominations, but running alongside it is major games like Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy VII Remake, DOOM Eternal and The Last of Us Part II, which all got their fair share of nominations in various categories. Here's the full list of nominees.
