Nominees for “The Horror Game Awards 2023” Announced [Video]
The wait is finally over for horror video game fans, as The Horror Game Awards have announced the nominees for this year’s event, with public voting now open. YouTuber Phil Dickens aka AKblackandred and Will Penkeyman of Resident Evil Central revealed the nominees via a new video below. Fans can now vote from over 50 games in 11 categories, with at least 20 titles having multiple nominations.
In all, there are 76 nominees for The Horror Game Awards this year, including 8 performers (for Best Performance), 14 developers (for Best Developer), and 54 games. As you might expect, Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 leads the way with 8 nominations, and is nominated in the most categories with 8. Alan Wake 2 also has 8 nominations, but is nominated in 7 categories, with two in the Best Performance nominations.
Here’s how it works: Each member of the 31-member jury gets to nominate one game for each category that they are a part of this year. Those nominations get voted on by you, the public, with the top three comprising the finalists for that category. The jury then picks a winner from the finalists through a preference vote. The eleventh category, the Players’ Choice Horror Game Award, (which people voted on beginning in September) is voted on exclusively by the public.
The Horror Game Awards 2023 will air on December 16, live on YouTube. starting at 11am PST / 2pm EST / 7pm GMT / 8pm CET.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
