Nordic Game has announced the final nominees for this year’s Nordic Game Awards. The finalists have been selected by a jury of peers and represent the very best of the region’s game development. The finals will be taking place live on May 28th in Malmö as part of the upcoming online NG20 conference.
The award show is always the highlight of the NG conference, and this year will be no exception. Over the past twelve months, the talent and expertise of the region’s studios has resulted in a string of amazing games. Indeed, the quality of the titles has been so outstanding that the jury – made up of members selected from the Nordic Game Institute – has struggled to whittle down the shortlist. But, having played through all of the games, the members have made their selections in each of the nine categories.
