A 2024 Game Developers Choice Awards é a premiação que ocorre durante o Game Developers Conference, evento de palestras que reúne diversos nomes em várias áreas da indústria de jogos mundial. O deste ano ocorrerá entre 18 e 22 de março, em São Francisco, Estados Unidos, quando também haverá a divulgação dos vencedores, ainda sem dia e horário definidos.
Os indicados são games lançados ao longo de 2023, selecionados por criadores de jogos convidados a participar do International Choice Awards Network (ICAN). Você pode conferir abaixo os nomeados nas nove categorias, com o interessante adicional de menções honrosas, divulgando outros destaques que não entraram para o quadro de finalistas.
