Star Wars Battlefront has been nominated for five separate E3 2015 Game Critics Awards, the highest amount received by any game on display at last month’s show.
The sci-fi shooter scooped nominations for Best Console Game, Best PC Game, Best Action Game, Best Online Multiplayer and the prestigious Best of Show. Last year’s Best of Show award went to Evolve.
Fallout 4 and Horizon: Zero Dawn, meanwhile, were nominated for four awards, with Rainbow Six: Siege and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End nominated for three.
The stats mean that EA and Sony walk away with the most nominations, with Bethesda finishing in third, and Microsoft and Nintendo in fourth. Indie game No Man’s Sky, however, is actually listed as being published by Sony, possibly inaccurately. Remove it and Sony finishes in second, one place behind EA.
You can take a look at each of the nominations below, with the winners set to be announced next Tuesday, July 7.
