AppGallery Awards Celebrate Milestone

Author : Zoe Jan 22,2025

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

Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year sets the tone for this year's awards, showcasing a selection that differs significantly from more mainstream accolades. 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

Beyond the Usual Suspects

Personally, some of the choices are surprising. However, it's worth noting that our own awards often lean towards Western titles with dedicated fanbases. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, conversely, appear to favor games popular in other global markets.

This diversity is a positive development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even greater prominence.
