Last update: 16 October 2024

The GAM3 Awards 2024 will have awards in 17 categories, and of course there’s a prize for Game of the Year. This year there will be a physical event in Manila, Philippines. However, you can also tune in live through live streams on Twitch, YouTube or X. The event will offer exclusive trailers, gameplay premiers, giveaways and special guests. So, make sure to mark 22 November 2024 in your calendar.

After tallying the jury votes from the first round, the top 5 finalists in each category are announced publicly. That’s what has happened now. Now it’s up to the community to vote for their favorite games. The jury holds 90% of the voting power, while the community gets 10%. However, there are three exceptions: The People’s Choice, Content Creator, and Games’ Choice. The community votes 100% for the People’s Choice and Content Creator awards, while the Games’ Choice award pushes the developers of all these games to recognize each other’s work. 

Let’s take a look at the nominees.

Game of the Year Award 2024

Alongside these individual prizes, there’s also the Game of the Year Award. That’s most likely the most prestigious award at the event. Also here there are 5 nominations, which we have listed below:

Nyan Heroes

9 Lives Interactive has brought a wonderful hero shooter to the Web3 community. In this game cats step into giant mechs to compete in a battle arena with rapid-fire and lots of spectacle and explosions. Nyan Heroes is a team-based hero shooter featuring cats piloting mechs. Master unique abilities and advanced feline movement. Customize your mech loadout with weapons and mods. Even after your mech falls in combat, your cat skills can still turn the tide of battle for your team!

Pirate Nation

Proof of Play has stolen the spotlight more than once this year, as Pirate Nation isn’t just a delightful game, but it’s also one that taps deeply into the fundamental of what makes blockchain gaming great. Join a new type of blockchain game on the high seas. Build your ship, recruit your crew, and battle your way across the isles to become the top pirate. Enjoy an exciting voxel rich world, full of adventure, challenge, and surprises. Quest to upgrade your pirates, craft in-game items, level up your gear, and battle challenging enemies. Join other players in special events to team up against fearsome world bosses.

Pixels

Singlehandedly, we could say that Pixels kept the dream of play-to-earn gameplay alive with their play-to-airdrop campaign and the introduction of the PIXEL token earlier this year. Even though one might suspect that activity drops after an airdrop, Pixels remained top of mind. This social MMO built on the Ronin Network has become a schoolbook example of balancing fun, earning and community engagement. A core aspect of Pixels is the gathering of resources. Players can unlock specific recipes or blueprints by progressing in-game, attending events, or simply by being fortunate. Land ownership in Pixels offers a plethora of customization options. Landowners have access to specialized industries for their farms, with the flexibility to change and level up industries without losing progress. The value of the land NFT increases as landowners work on it, industrialize, automate, and decorate it.

Parallel

Parallel Studios isn’t just building a card game, because Parallel is a science-fiction ecosystem with cutting-edge technology. Parallel is a free to play digital trading card game built in a thrilling sci-fi universe. Collect cards, build decks, and battle your peers in a strategic battle for control of Earth. Combine cards from one of the five factions and the Universal pool to create a 40 card deck. Explore unique mechanics like Shroud’s Singularity and Earthen’s Decay as you fight your way to victory. Leverage units, effects, upgrades, and relics on your path to power.

Off The Grid

This list of five nominees would not be complete without Off The Grid, a battle royale shooter by Gunzilla Games that has captured the hearts of gamers and streamers alike in October. In Off The Grid, your mission is simple: Survive. Loot. Dominate. Whether you’re battling it out in the heart of a high-stakes Battle Royale or unravelling the immersive narrative of Teardrop Island’s shattered history, every decision you make could be your last… or your path to victory. Gear up with custom cyberlimbs and hundreds of weapon combos, modifying your body and arsenal mid-fight. Extract high-value loot, outsmart your enemies, and transform into a force of destruction. You’re not just fighting to survive—you’re fighting to be the last one standing.
