The NAVGTR Awards for 2019 have received official nominations today, with the winners due to be announced on February 24th.

　　The nominations have been utterly dominated by Asobo Studio's A Plague Tale Innocence, the action/adventure game published by Focus Home Interactive, which got nominated 18 times out of 57 total categories. PlatinumGames Nintendo Switch exclusive Astral Chain also distinguished itself with 10 nominations.

　　However, the Game of the Year nominations include neither of these games. Instead, the following titles will view for the overall victory: Remedy's Control, FromSoftware's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, CAPCOM's Resident Evil 2, Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, and ZA/UM's Disco Elysium. You may find the full nominations below.

　　As a reminder, the NAVGTR (National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers) is a non-profit organization featuring 820 media voters and 9,500 subscribers.
