Il 2019 è quasi giunto al termine e sono finalmente arrivate tutte le nomination per i The Game Awards 2019, che si terrà il prossimo 12 dicembre a Los Angeles.
Si tratta di un anno ricchissimo per l’industria videoludica giapponese grazie al piazzamento di ben quattro titoli tra i sei candidati a gioco dell’anno, un ottimo traguardo per un’evento che generalmente è più orientato sugli esponenti occidentali dell’industria. Sarà possibile seguire l’evento in diretta il prossimo 13 dicembre alle ore 02:30 (ora italiana) su tantissime piattaforme, tra cui Youtube, Twitch, Mixer, Facebook e Twitter.
Sarà possibile votare per i nostri titoli preferiti grazie al sito ufficiale dell’evento o tramite Google. Ma vediamo assieme tutte le nomination.
