The nominations for the 18th annual edition of the NAVGTR Awards (National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers) have been announced across the 59 categories honoring animation, art direction, character design, controls, game design, game engineering, musical score, sound effects, writing, and more. The winners will be announced on March 13th.

Thomas Allen, Executive Director at NAVGTR Corp., said:

The Last of Us Part II Sets Record for Nominations (24) at NAVGTR Awards 2020

We have strong contenders for this year’s NAVGTR awards, including record-setting nominations by God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man.
