The 2020 edition of The Game Awards was full of surprises, world premieres which aired live from Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo on December 10th without a live audience as we are accustomed to :( Naughty Dog took away several awards including the coveted game of the year award, best direction, narrative, action/adventure game, audio design, and performance for Laura Bailey. Other big winners were Square Enix for the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Hades for the best indie game and action game. And the world was taken over by Among Us so it is no surprise it won the best multiplayer game and mobile game. Enough of my rambling, check out the full list of winners in the specific categories below: GAME OF THE YEAR The Last of Us Part II – Naughty Dog (WINNER) Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Doom Eternal – id Software Final Fantasy VII Remake – Square Enix Ghost of Tsushima – Sucker Punch Hades – Supergiant Games BEST GAME DIRECTION The Last of Us Part II – Naughty Dog (WINNER) Final Fantasy VII Remake – Square Enix Ghost of Tsushima – Sucker Punch Hades – Supergiant Games Half-Life Alyx – Valve MOST ANTICIPATED GAME Elden Ring – From Software/Bandai Namco (WINNER) Halo Infinite – 343/Xbox Game Studios Horizon Forbidden West – Guerrilla Games/SIE God of War Sequel – SIE Santa Monica/SIE Resident Evil Village – Capcom The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel – Nintendo NARRATIVE The Last of Us Part II (WINNER) 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Final Fantasy VII Remake Ghost of Tsushima Hades ART DIRECTION Ghost of Tsushima (WINNER) Final Fantasy VII Remake Hades Ori and the Will of the Wisps The Last of Us Part II SCORE & MUSIC Final Fantasy VII Remake (WINNER) Doom Eternal Hades Ori and the Will of the Wisps The Last of Us Part II AUDIO DESIGN Final Fantasy VII Remake (WINNER) Doom Eternal Half-Life: Alyx Ghost of Tsushima Resident Evil 3 PERFORMANCE Laura Bailey – Abby, The Last of Us Part II (WINNER) Ashley Johnson – Ellie, The Last of Us Part II Daisuke Tsuji – Jin, Ghost of Tsushima Logan Cunningham – Hades, Hades Nadji Jeterm – Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales GAMES FOR IMPACT Tell Me Why (WINNER) If Found… Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition Spiritfarer Through Darkest of Times ONGOING GAME No Man’s Sky (WINNER) Apex Legends Destiny 2 Call of Duty: Warzone Fortnite BEST INDIE GAME Hades (WINNER) Carrion Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Spelunky 2 Spiritfarer DEBUT INDIE GAME Phasmophobia (WINNER) Carrion Mortal Shell Raji: An Acient Epic Roki MOBILE GAME Among Us (WINNER) Call of Duty Mobile Genshin Impact Legends of Runeterra Pokémon Cafe Mix COMMUNITY SUPPORT Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (WINNER) Apex Legends Destiny 2 Fortnite No Man’s Sky Valorant VR/AR GAME Half-Life: Alyx (WINNER) Dreams Marvel’s Iron Man VR Star Wars: Squadrons The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners INNOVATION IN ACCESSIBILITY The Last of Us Part II (WINNER) Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Grounded Hyperdot Watch Dogs Legion ACTION GAME Hades (WINNER) Doom Eternal Half-Life: Alyx Nioh 2 Streets of Rage 4
