Nearly 100 games have been nominated for honors in this year's The Game Awards showcase, an all-digital awards show scheduled to take place on December 10, 2020.

As with past years, The Game Awards sets out to highlight stand out games released over the last year, with a press release saying this year's nominees represent games "that truly transformed entertainment, created camaraderie and community, and pushed the envelope on innovation."

Animal Crossing: New Horizons, DOOM Eternal, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Hades, and The Last of Us Part II are all in the running for Game of the Year, with all of those games snagging nominations across several other categories as well.

Two of those games lead nominations across all categories with 8 each, including GOTY nominations: The Last of Us Part II for Best Game Direction, Art Direction, Score and Music, Audio Design, Performance, and Innovation in Accessibility and Hades for Best Game Direction, Narrative, Art Direction, Score and Music, Performance, Indie, and Action.

Sony Interactive Entertainment snagged the most nominations for any one publisher this year as well, with 22 nominations in all. A press release notes that this is only one nomination behind Nintendo's record 23 nominations from back in 2017.
