Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves Clash at TGA 2024
In 2024, numerous mobile games have been released, making significant waves in the gaming community. However, when it comes to the Gacha genre, particularly in the realm of open-world RPGs, Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves stand out as the top contenders.
Zenless Zone Zero is backed by miHoYo, the reigning king of Gacha games in the international gaming scene. On the other hand, Wuthering Waves impresses with its captivating storyline and stunning graphics, developed by Kuro Games. From their initial launch, both games were anticipated to compete for the Best Mobile Game award in 2024. Finally, after a long wait, the Game Awards 2024 (TGA 2024) confirmed this morning (November 19) that these two titles have officially made it to the nomination list.
However, TGA 2024 Also Brings Many Strong Competitors
Despite this exciting news, fans of Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves may not celebrate just yet, as they are aware of the strong competitors that lie ahead. First and foremost is AFK Journey, a newcomer that launched in March 2024 and has already garnered a massive fanbase. AFK Journey recently won the “Best Game” category at the Google Play’s Best of 2024 awards, showcasing its significant competitive potential.
Additionally, TGA 2024 has confirmed another nominee: Pokémon TCG Pocket. Although it just launched in November, Pokémon TCG Pocket has already made a significant impact with impressive revenue and skyrocketing download numbers. The final contender, Balatro, has even received a nomination for Game of the Year (GOTA). All these competitors currently overshadow Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves.
This shows that the competition for awards at TGA this year is incredibly fierce. It is challenging to assert anything at this moment, as each contender showcases significant potential and outstanding performance.
