Today, the organizers of the 19th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards announced this year's nominees.

Leading the pack with seven nominations is Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2, followed by Sony Interactive Entertainment's God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man with six each.

Other titles receiving multiple nominations include: Celeste, Return of the Obra Dinn, Tetris Effect, and Florence from Mountains.

As always, any video game that released and was made publicly available during 2018, irrespective of platform or delivery medium, is eligible for nominations. Both nominees and winners are selected by the Game Developers Choice Awards-specific International Choice Awards, which is an invitation-only organization, said to be described by leading game creators across the industry. There's no public voting at all.
