Game Awards 2024 Winners, Highlights, Surprises and What You Missed

Alright, so let’s talk about The Game Awards 2024—a night that had everything: epic winners, shocking reveals, and enough hype to keep gamers buzzing for weeks.

Astro Bot snagging Game of the Year? Wild. But let’s not forget the insane trailers, like the sneak peek at The Witcher 4 and the jaw-dropping reveal of Okami 2. Seriously, it was a night to remember.

Astro Bot Steals the Spotlight

Astro Bot absolutely crushed it, walking away with Game of the Year and three other awards. Who saw that coming? It just proves that sometimes, a heartfelt platformer with killer gameplay can outshine even the biggest AAA titles. Hats off to Astro and the team for reminding us why we love gaming in the first place.

Trailer Highlights: The Witcher 4 and Okami 2

Let’s talk trailers, because wow. CD Projekt Red gave us a teaser for The Witcher 4, and the internet is already losing it over the new medallion. New protagonist? New storyline? We’re here for it.

And then there’s Okami 2—yes, you read that right. Capcom’s bringing back Amaterasu for another celestial adventure, and the visuals look like a painting come to life. Fans are eating this up, and honestly, so are we.

Other Major Wins and Moments

Balatro came out of nowhere and snagged three awards, including Best Indie Game. Talk about a sleeper hit. Meanwhile, Metaphor: ReFantazio made its mark with wins for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction—proving once again that JRPGs are here to stay. And let’s not forget Helldivers 2, which took home Best Multiplayer Game. It’s been a good year for co-op fans.

Fortnite might not have won anything this year, but its nomination for Best Ongoing Game shows it’s still a juggernaut in the industry. Love it or hate it, Fortnite’s not going anywhere.

Industry Milestones Celebrated

The show wasn’t just about the games. There were heartfelt moments celebrating industry veterans and spotlighting accessibility. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown taking Innovation in Accessibility was a big win, reminding us that gaming is for everyone. Cheers to that.

Content Creator of the Year: CaseOh

Shoutout to CaseOh for winning Content Creator of the Year. Their community-driven content and positive vibes really resonated with fans. The acceptance speech? Top-notch. It’s a reminder of how much creators shape the gaming world and connect us to the games we love.

What Lies Ahead?

Let’s not beat around the bush—Grand Theft Auto VI stole the spotlight with a teaser that lasted, what, 30 seconds? But it was enough to send fans into a frenzy. With a 2025 release on the horizon, Rockstar’s already redefining open-world gaming, and we’re all here for it.

And don’t sleep on Death Stranding 2 or Metroid Prime 4. If 2024 was any indication, 2025 is going to be another banger of a year for gaming.

Wrapping It Up

The Game Awards 2024 wasn’t just an event—it was a vibe. From Astro Bot’s surprise sweep to those jaw-dropping trailers, it was a night that reminded us why we love this industry. If you missed it, do yourself a favor and catch up. Trust us, you don’t want to be the one asking, “What happened last night?”
