Geoff Keighley ha rivelato i nominati per i Game Critics Awards dell’E3 2019, la grande fiera videoludica che si è svolta poche settimane fa a Los Angeles. Per poter essere candidati, i giochi dovevano essere presenti alla fiera in forma giocabile hands-on, con almeno 5 minuti di gameplay testabile dai membri della giuria. Questo, ad esempio, ha escluso titoli come Cyberpunk 2077, Ghostwire Tokyo o Marvel’s Avengers.
Scopriamo le nomination nelle diverse categorie, che vedono The Outer Worlds sugli scudi con ben quattro candidature. Bene anche Microsoft, con ben 9 nomination (6 in più del 2018), inseguita da Nintendo con 8 (1 in meno del 2018).
