Den 14. udgave af New York Game Awards finder sted den 21. januar i SVA Theatre på Manhattan i New York. New York Game Awards er lidt interessant, fordi nogle af kategorierne i denne award er anderledes end i de fleste andre award shows.
De nominerede blev annonceret i en live stream hosted af Hanna Telle (der spiller Max fra Life is Strange: Double Exposure) og Logan Cunningham (der spiller Hades from Hades II) og på selve aftenen den 21. januar vil Sam Lake fra Remedy blive hædret med Legend Award prisen. Det er en pris som gaming-personligheder som Phil Spencer, Neil Druckmann, Hideo Kojima og Todd Howard tidligere har modtaget.
New York Game Awards afholdes af New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC) der blandt andet driver "Playing with Purpose" -programmet. Det er et initiativ, som afholder "classes and workshops" rundt omkring på skoler og andre institutioner i New York, for at børn fra alle samfundslag kan få en forsmag på, hvordan det er at være spiljournalist eller skrive historier til spil - og måske ad den vej give dem en karrierevej.
Du kan se alle de nominerede fra New York Game Awards 2025 nedenfor.
