Huawei AppGallery Celebrates Milestone with 2024 Awards

The 2024 Huawei AppGallery Awards have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While our own Pocket Gamer Awards might set a certain standard (naturally!), the Huawei AppGallery Awards offer a fascinating alternative perspective on the best mobile games of the year. Let's examine the results of this fifth-anniversary celebration.

Summoners War claimed the coveted Game of the Year title, setting the tone for a unique selection of winners. This year's awards showcase a different perspective than many other award ceremonies.

Here's a breakdown of the other category 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

Beyond the App Store's Usual Suspects

Some of the choices might raise eyebrows, but it's worth noting that our own awards often lean towards Western titles with established fanbases. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, conversely, appear to highlight games popular in other global markets. This diverse representation is a positive development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain even more recognition in the future.
