Astro Bot takes home the GOTY at the 2024 Game Awards

The 2024 Game Awards have now come and gone, announcing a ton of cool upcoming games while dishing out trophies to those released over the past year. That said, one game seemed to have come out on top, with Team Asobi’s Astro Bot taking home the greatest number of awards – alongside the prestigious GOTY trophy.

Across its 7 nominations, Team Asobi’s Astro Bot won 4 total awards; the most of any game this year.

Of course, as mentioned, Astro Bot took home the Game of the Year (beating out Balatro; Black Myth: Wukong; Elden Ring: SotET; FFVII Rebirth and Metaphor: ReFantazio), but it also managed to nab the awards for ‘Best Game Direction’; ‘Best Action / Adventure Game’ and ‘Best Family Game’.

The 3 categories in which Astro Bot lost were ‘Best Audio Design’ (Hellblade II); ‘Best Score and Music’ (FFVII Rebirth) and ‘Best Art Direction’ (Metaphor: ReFantazio).

Other notable winners include the aforementioned Metaphor: ReFantazo as well as Balatro – both winning 3 awards each. The former took home ‘Best Art Direction; Narrative and RPG’, while Balatro nabbed the ‘Best Mobile Game; Indie Game and Debut Indie Game’ awards.

Congratulations to all those who took home a trophy at the 2024 Game Awards. Whether nominated or not, 2024 was another excellent year for video game releases (even if the industry itself unfortunately continues to suffer).

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
