The 2024 Bossies, the second annual presentation of the awards, has its nominees for Developer of the Year.
The Bossies is an award show the Boss Rush Network hosts that is a celebration of video games and entertainment. The event is not beholden to announcements and trailers, rather votes come directly from the community.
The award show aims to feature games and entertainment that deserves recognition as the Boss Rush team highlights the best of the year, including content the industry may have overlooked.
Furthermore, the Boss Rush team has partnered many from around the industry who are big fans of gaming and entertainment. These include Indie developers, game publishers, and content creators.
The 2024 Bossies nominations for Developer of the Year are:
Team ASOBI: While it wasn’t a busy year for the Tokyo-based developer, Team ASOBI still left its mark. Its lone release of Astro Bot immediately made waves immediately after its September release. Astro Bot also marked the developer’s first game since separating from Japan Studio.
CAPCOM: Capcom has had a large mix of games released during 2024. It released numerous remasters, including both Monster Hunter Stories games on non-Nintendo consoles. It also released new titles such as Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
LocalThunk: LocalThunk is the anonymous single developer behind the deck-building roguelike Balatro. LocalThunk began development on Balatro 2.5 years ago. Balatro made an immediate impact and garnered the attention of many end-of-the-year award shows.
Atlus: Atlus released four games this year, which included Persona 3 Reload, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and Metaphor ReFantazio. The fourth game was Unicorn Overlord, which Vanillaware developed. Each game earned high marks from reviewers and further established Atlus in the RPG realm.
Square Enix: It was a busy year for Square Enix as the longtime RPG developer released eight new or remade titles. It also ported several games to other consoles and maintaining Final Fantasy XIV with Dawntrail. Square Enix released games from numerous franchises, including a few dormant ones.
