After two months filled with nominations and voting, the winners of this year's Pocket Gamer Awards have been announced, highlighting a remarkable year for mobile gaming. While the list featured several expected names, a few unexpected winners emerged, capturing the public's vote and adding an element of surprise to the event.
The Pocket Gamer Awards 2024, following a month-long nomination period and an equally extensive voting period, culminated in a grand awards show that unveiled the winners. This year's awards mark a significant milestone, showcasing the evolution of the mobile gaming industry since the inaugural awards back in 2010, where reader's choice led just one category.
Having witnessed the journey from the start of nominations in October, I can attest to the triumph of this year's event. The high volume of votes is a testament to the engagement and enthusiasm of the mobile gaming community. More importantly, this year's winners represent a true cross-section of the industry, reflecting its diversity and innovation.
The winners span from giants like NetEase, with their Sony IP Destiny, and Tencent-backed SuperCell, to established publishers such as Konami and Bandai Namco. Alongside these industry heavyweights, indie darlings like Rusty Lake and Emoak have also shone brightly. Additionally, 2024 has been a banner year for ports, with mobile platforms welcoming excellent adaptations from PC, a trend that is clearly celebrated in the awards for three outstanding ports.
