Huawei's AppGallery Celebrates Anniversary

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 bar for mobile game recognition, the Huawei AppGallery Awards, now in their fifth year, offer a compelling alternative perspective.

Summoners War emerged as the victor for Game of the Year, setting the tone for a unique selection of award recipients. This year's winners showcase a distinct departure from the usual suspects.

Here's a breakdown of the other notable 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

A Global Perspective

Naturally, some of the choices might differ from personal preferences. It's worth noting that the Pocket Gamer Awards often lean towards Western titles with dedicated fan bases. In contrast, the Huawei AppGallery Awards appear to favor games popular in other regions, offering a valuable global perspective.

The success of alternative app stores this year suggests the Huawei AppGallery Awards will gain further recognition and prestige. This diversity in award ceremonies provides a more comprehensive picture of the mobile gaming landscape.
