2016 might be over, but the year's games are still being celebrated. The organizers of the Game Developers Choice Awards today announced the nominees for this year's show.

Leading the way was Playdead's Inside, which picked up six nominations, including Best Audio, Best Design, Best Narrative, Best Visual Art, the Innovation Award, and Game of the Year.

Games that received five nominations each included Overwatch and Firewatch, while Uncharted 4: A Thief's End picked up four nominations; all of those were nominated for Game of the Year, alongside Bethesda's Dishonored 2. A complete rundown of categories, nominees, and honorable mentions can be found below.

To be considered, a game had to be released and made available publicly during the 2016 calendar year. The nominees and winners are chosen by the International Choice Awards Network, which is a group of "leading game creators from all parts of the industry."

Double Fine boss Tim Schafer returns as host for the event, which will be held on March 1, 2017, in San Francisco as part of the Game Developers Conference. This will be Schafer's sixth time hosting.

The Independent Games Festival Awards will also take place the evening of March 1, while Pioneer, Ambassador, and Lifetime Achievement awards will also be handed out at the event. Organizers will announce the winners of these special awards "in the near future."

The show starts at 6:30 PM PT on March 1 and will be livestreamed on Twitch.
