One of the biggest events in the gaming calendar, The Game Awards, is fast approaching and were extremely proud to see that not just one but TWO Team17 releases have been nominated for awards this year!
First up, chaotic co-op cooking game Overcooked! 2 has been nominated for Best Family Game, while pinball-Metroidvania Yokus Island Express is up for Best Debut Indie Game!
It means so much to the hard-working people at the Team17 studio, as well as our Games Label partners at Ghost Town Games and Villa Gorilla to be recognised in these categories, but wed be over the moon if they won. Maybe were biased, but we think they deserve it!
How you can help!
The Game Awards winners are decided by a mix of independent judges and fan votes, and in the case of Best Debut Indie Game in which Yokus Island Express is running the category is 100% decided by fans.
We want to spread the word about these two great games and encourage more people to play them, and we cant do it without you! So if youve played either of these gems and would like to help out then please head to The Game Awards website and cast your vote!
Please note that it is possible to vote once per 24 hours (if youre feeling super passionate about the awards) and doing so will increase the chances that your game of choice wins. So too will taking advantage of the option to share your choice to social media when prompted to do so.

Balance mundane routine with careful planning to attain your ultimate goal - escape and freedom!
