As the year begins to draw to a close, it must mean that awards season is growing ever closer. That said, Geoff Keighley has officially revealed who the nominees are for this year’s The Game Awards, with some of the nominations possibly being a surprise for fans out there.

During a video that premiered earlier today, Keighley announced the nominees for The Game Awards 2020. There is no surprise that we see the likes of Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part II among the nominees, but surprise titles such as Fall Guys, Phasmophobia, and even Among Us can be found as well. In addition to all of this, we also see nominations for various esports categories as well as accessibility. You can check out the full nominees list in the video below:
