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 benchmark, 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 a unique awards lineup, diverging significantly from typical industry accolades. Here's a closer look at 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

Beyond the App Store Mainstream
Some of the selections might surprise those familiar with Western-centric award shows. This highlights a potential bias towards games with strong Western fanbases in certain award ceremonies, while the Huawei AppGallery Awards appear to favor titles popular in other global markets.
This diversity in award winners is a positive development. With the rise of alternative app stores, the Huawei AppGallery Awards are poised to gain even greater recognition and influence.
