The Game Critics Awards nominees are in for E3 2015, with Star Wars Battlefront leading the pack with five nominations, including Best of Show. The list of winners will be revealed on Tuesday, July 7th.

Star Wars Battlefront wasn’t the only one to garner a ton of attention from the Game Critics Association, either. Fallout 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn nabbed four nominations each, and both are also in contention for Best of Show.

We’ll quickly note that some of the most highly-anticipated games of E3 aren’t included in the list, since they were not playable during the event, which is a requirement to be considered for an award. Sorry Deus Ex and Ghost Recon fans.

Here’s the full list of game nominations:

Naturally, the award that will gain the most attention is Best of Show, which this year has one piece of hardware and four games vying for the crown. It will be interesting to see how well Guerrilla Games’ new IP, Horizon Zero Dawn, will do against proven franchises like Fallout, Uncharted, and Battlefront. However, the simple fact that it’s among the choices for Best of Show should give gamers a good idea of the game’s quality – at least the quality that was playable at E3.
