Nominated for three awards in addition to a Studio of the Year nod for developer FromSoftware, it's also up for the all-important Ultimate Game of the Year award. Other blockbuster games with multiple nominations include God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7. Indies are also well-represented, with acclaimed titles such as Teardown, Tunic, Cult of the Lamb and Immortality - plus more - vying for key awards.
