Nordic Game Awards 2017 – Nominees revealed

Best Audio nominees
As with all the categories, the competition here is fierce. The “Battlefield” series is well-known for its striking audio, and the latest chapter is no exception, being nominated for several awards already. This is also the case for Playdead and their award-winning title “INSIDE” - and with three other very strong contenders, it's looking like a tough decision for the jury:

“Battlefield 1”, EA DICE (SE)
“GoNNER”, Art in Heart (SE)
“Hitman”, IO Interactive (DK)
“INSIDE”, Playdead (DK)
“Owlboy”, D-Pad Studio (NO)

Best Debut nominees
The "Best Debut" award goes to a Nordic studio that has released its first game in 2016, not counting beta or early access. Five very talented and promising studios are competing in this category, among them Antagonist with “Through the Woods”, a chilling third-person psychological horror game set in a forest on Norway's western coast.

“Clapper”, Bridgeside Interactive (SE)
“GoNNER”, Art in Heart (SE)
“Manual Samuel”, Perfectly Paranormal (NO)
“Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure”, Game Swing (DK)
“Through the Woods”, Antagonist (NO)
