رویداد «The Game Awards» را بدون هیچ تردیدی میتوان اسکار صنعت گیم نامید. به تازگی لیست نامزدهای «The Game Awards 2018» مشخص شدهاند.
امسال به طور کلی دستهبندیها تقریبا همانند سال گذشته هستند؛ با این وجود برخی تغییرات نیز صورت گرفته، برای مثال با توجه به محبوبیت روزافزون ورزشهای الکترونیکی (Esports) این بخش گستردهتر شده است و دستهبندیهای بیشتری به خودش اختصاص داده، از طرفی شاهد دستهبندی «موردانتظارترین بازی» همانند سال گذشته نیستیم. اگر بخواهیم نگاهی به نامزدها داشته باشیم، دو عنوان «God of War» و «Red Dead Redemption 2» با کاندید شدن در هشت دستهبندی، بیشترین تعداد نامزدی را به خود اختصاص دادهاند.
مراسم The Game Awards 2018 در تاریخ 6 دسامبر 2018 برگزار خواهد شد و مثل همیشه شامل اجرای موسیقی و نمایشهای اختصاصی تازه میشود. لازم به ذکر است که همانند سالهای قبل این رویداد توسط «Geoff Keighley» میزبانی میشود.
