Some good choices though I would've probably nominated Forza Horizon 3 or Dark Souls 3 instead of Titanfall 2. Don't get me wrong. Titanfall 2 has an exciting campaign but I feel that its multiplayer gets old even faster than the first game.

And how is the procedure with games releasing after the award show like Final Fantasy XV? Will it be added if it ends up being a really good game like some films are added later to the academy nominees?

According to the same page linked in the first post: "Nominated Games Must Have been commercially released to the pubblic before November 24", that's why FFXV isn't nominated, something similar happened for Xenoblade Chronicles X which got released 3 days after the show and, while beeing released in 2015, got nominated only in the 2016 edition of the Awards, the true answer is how come they released the Nominees so early since there are big releases from here on out until the 24th, mainly Pokémon Sun/Moon

Exactly. Pokémon S/M and Final Fantasy XV are big games and potentially highly qualified for a GOTY award. It seems weird to choose the nominees this early.

But from what you wrote, I guess the games will have a chance to be nominated for next year's awards if they're highly praised.

Thanks for the info
