Hogwarts Legacy has finally received recognition with an nomination for Game Of The Year awards.
Hogwarts Legacy might have gone without recognition at The Game Awards this year, but it did earn itself one important nod – one for Game of the Year!
Hogwarts Legacy made up for its lack of critical recognition with commercial success. According to Google, Hogwarts Legacy was 2023’s most searched-for game; which should come as no surprise given sales reached over $1 billion as soon as May hit! With discounts galore across PlayStation 4, PS 5, Xbox One Series X/S, PC versions, plus Nintendo Switch now out, I imagine its value has only grown further over time! While no sequel is officially confirmed as yet but developers appear to be hiring for one – something they would surely find rewarding! Congratulations Hogwarts Legacy!
Hogwarts Legacy has been nominated as one of five finalists for The Steam Awards’ Game of the Year award, alongside EA Sports FC24, Baldur’s Gate 3, Lethal Company, and Resident Evil 4. Though one might assume Baldur’s Gate 3 would prevail again as it did at The Game Awards, since fan voting determines this award, all hope remains intact that Hogwarts Legacy could take home top honours!
Hogwarts Legacy recently earned itself nominations for both Steam Deck’s Best Game Award as well as multiple longlists at BAFTA Games Awards – earning nominations for Animation, Artistic Achievement, Audio Achievement, Best Game Design, Music Composition/Composition Award Narrative Technical Acheivment Awards as well as Family Game categories! Hogwarts Legacy could potentially go on to compete for these final nominations at some point later on this year but so far appears on several longlists already! It could potentially win over best Animation Artistic Achievement Audio Achievement Best Game Design Best Music Composition/Composing Technical Acheivement or Family Game awards!
Hogwarts Legacy could end up receiving nine nominations at Steam Awards; or none at all if no shortlist exists. But one thing’s certain – time will tell!
