AppGallery Awards Mark Milestone, Celebrating Half-Decade Success

The 2024 Huawei AppGallery Awards have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While the Pocket Gamer Awards undoubtedly set a high benchmark, the Huawei AppGallery Awards, now in their fifth year, offer a compelling alternative perspective.

Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year sets the tone for a unique selection of award recipients. This year's winners showcase a distinct departure from the typical award show line-up.

Here's a breakdown of the other category winners:

• Best Action Game: PUBG Mobile
• Best RPG Games: Hero Wars: Alliance, Epic Seven
• Best SLG Games: Evony: The King's Return, World of Tanks Blitz
• Best Family Games: Candy Crush Saga, Gardenscapes
• Best Trending Games: Mecha Domination: Rampage, Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains

Beyond the App Store's Usual Suspects

Some of the choices might raise eyebrows, reflecting a potential difference in preferences. Our own awards, for instance, often lean towards Western titles with strong fan bases. In contrast, the Huawei AppGallery Awards seem to favor games released in other global markets.

This diversity is a welcome development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain even more significance.
