We’re just hours away from The Game Awards 2025, where we’ll finally know which of this year’s nominees will walk away with the coveted GOTY trophy.
Hades II is one of six games in the running for the grand prize, and before the ceremony began, developer Supergiant Games shared a heartwarming piece of art, congratulating its fellow nominees.
The art depicts the main character from each of the six games (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Death Stranding 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and, of course, Hades II) dressed in their finest award show attire and gracing the red carpet. We’re especially taken with the little Hornet sitting on DK’s shoulder – just look at these guys!
“We are deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight,” reads the Supergiant post accompanying the artwork, “especially since we are in the company of such an incredible group of incredibly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all of our fellow nominees – we salute you!!”
Clair Obscur is the heavy favorite to win the grand prize tonight (and every other prize, it seems), but we’d be happy to see just about any finalist walk away with the victory. Bananza is also nominated in the Best Family Game category alongside Mario Kart World.
You’ll find everything you need to know about tonight’s ceremony – including how to watch it and the full list of nominees – in our The Game Awards 2025 guide.
