As anticipation builds for The Game Awards 2025, fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting the announcement of this year’s Game of the Year (GOTY) winner. Among the six nominees vying for the prestigious accolade is Hades II, the much-anticipated sequel from Supergiant Games.
In a charming display of camaraderie, Supergiant Games has shared an artwork that celebrates not only their own game but also acknowledges the competition. The illustration features the main characters from each of the six nominated titles—Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Death Stranding 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Hades II—all dressed elegantly for the red carpet, showcasing their unique designs.
A particularly notable detail in the artwork is the depiction of Hornet from Hollow Knight: Silksong, perched adorably on Donkey Kong’s shoulder, adding a delightful twist to the group scene. Supergiant’s accompanying message voiced their gratitude, expressing how honored they are to be nominated in the presence of such an impressive and diverse lineup of games. The heartfelt note concluded with well-wishes for their fellow nominees.
While Clair Obscur is widely considered the frontrunner for the top prize, excitement remains high for all nominees, including Bananza, which is competing for Best Family Game against Mario Kart World.
