The nominations for The Game Awards are out, and among the titles to receive a nod was Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3. The RPG scored a nomination for Best Community Support, and it’s the second year running that the game has been nominated for it. In response to the news, Larian said, “What the f**k.”
“Honestly, what the f**k thanks guys,” the developer said on social media.
In another post, Larian said, “It’s a complete honor to have been nominated for Best Community Support again this year, but really, this nomination is a testament to your continued passion and enthusiasm for Baldur’s Gate 3.”
Anyone can vote to help Baldur’s Gate 3 win the award this year on The Game Awards website. As announced previously, winners are determined by a blended vote spread between the jury (90%) and fan voting (10%). Baldur’s Gate 3 won the Best Community Support award in 2024, beating out titles like Final Fantasy XIV, Fortnite, Helldivers 2, and No Man’s Sky.
Larian isn’t the only studio to post a message in response to being nominated, as CD Projekt Red thanked fans for their support for The Witcher 4 getting nominated for Most Anticipated Game.
The Game Awards take place on the evening of Thursday, December 11. The games vying for the coveted Game of the Year include Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hades II, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Expedition 33 led all others this year with 12 total nominations, including its nod for Game of the Year. With 12 nominations, that makes it the most-nominated game in the history of The Game Awards.
Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei followed with eight nominations each, with Hades 2 picking up six, Hollow Knight grabbing five, and Split Fiction nabbing four.
