The nominees for the fifth annual Game Awards have been revealed, and big-hitters like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, God of War, Spider-Man, Monster Hunter World, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are all up for multiple awards. There's also plenty of choice outside of the triple-A bubble, with indie offerings like A Way Out, Celeste, Life is Strange 2, 11-11 Memories Retold, and Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom.

The audience will have a chance to witness a true clash of the titans, as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Celeste, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Monster Hunter: World, and finally Red Dead Redemption 2 will fight for the title of "Game of the Year." Last year, Nintendo’s hit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won three awards, including Game of the Year and Best Game Direction.
