Capcom has 2 of this year's games in the running at the first Fandom Awards. Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata picked up several nominations when voting opened yesterday, and Capcom USA is asking players to vote. Check out the official post down below:
Fandom, the company behind more than 250,000 fan wikis, says the awards are different from industry-panel shows because the nominees come from real activity across its community of more than 300 million monthly users. Fans then pick the winners. Voting is open now on The Fandom Awards homepage through December 31, and the winners will be announced on January 26.
Fandom CEO Jay Sullivan said: "Every category nominee reflects the behavior of fans this past year, and now the Fandom community can come together to make the final call. The result is a celebration built for fans, by fans."
Leon And Grace Share A Category
The biggest Capcom showing is in Character of the Year (Gaming), where Requiem has 2 of the 5 nominees. Leon Scott Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft, the game's 2 protagonists, are up against Hugh Williams from Pragmata, Kris from Deltarune and The Prototype from Poppy Playtime. That gives Capcom 3 of the 5 spots in the category.
Requiem also has a nomination in Ship of the Year for Leon and Ada. That pairing is up against Alastor and Vox from Hazbin Hotel, Azure and Two Time from Forsaken, Benedict and Sophie from Bridgerton, and Ilya and Shane from Heated Rivalry.
The series as a whole is up for Fandom of the Year, which honors the fan communities that defined the year. Resident Evil's competition is DC, Game of Thrones, Grand Theft Auto and Marvel. Resident Evil and Grand Theft Auto are the only 2 game series on that list, with the other 3 coming from comics, film and TV.
There is also a nomination for one of the people behind Leon. The Gaming Creator of the Year list includes Apostolides, which appears to refer to Nik Apostolides, Leon's motion capture and English voice actor, alongside AlanahPearce, Angelica Trae, JourdanGames, Jwong and Sarthe.
How Requiem And Pragmata Did This Year
Resident Evil Requiem launched on February 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC as part of the series' 30th anniversary. Capcom says it became the fastest entry in the series to reach 8 million units sold. Leon's return as a playable character was confirmed in the trailer covered in New RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM Trailer Confirms The Return Of Leon S. Kennedy As A Playable Character.
Pragmata, Capcom's new sci-fi action game, came out on April 17. Players control the astronaut Hugh Williams on a lunar research station alongside Diana, a childlike android who can hack. Hugh handles the firearms, while Diana strips enemy armor and exposes weak points. Capcom says Pragmata has sold more than 2.5 million units.
Both games won Awards for Excellence at the Japan Game Awards 2026, and Pragmata also won the Breakthrough Award there.
The Rest Of The Ballot
Fandom also has categories outside of gaming. Character of the Year (Entertainment) nominees are Aegon Targaryen from House of the Dragon, Carl from Dungeon Crawler Carl, Hal Jordan from Lanterns, Nikki Freeman from Obsession, Peter Parker from Spider-Man and Rocky from Project Hail Mary. Anime of the Year is between Frieren, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, One Piece and Witch Hat Atelier.
The creator side has Streamer of the Year nominees Asta Bush, DechartGames, Jennmcallister, Maximilian_DOOD and Mcd00dle. The Creator Impact Award list includes Markiplier, Kane Pixels, Felicia Day, Curry Barker, Khleo Thomas and Toastymarshmellow, and Breakout Creator of the Year has 8bitClosedFist, BltzZ, Dani Apples, ImAnnamolly and Whoischelsea.
