Huawei's AppGallery Awards Mark Five Years of Innovation

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 high bar, the Huawei AppGallery Awards offer a compelling alternative perspective, celebrating its fifth anniversary with a unique selection of winners.

Summoners War claimed the coveted Game of the Year title, setting the tone for a lineup that deviates from the usual suspects. Here's a look at 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 differ from personal preferences, reflecting perhaps a Western-centric bias in certain award ceremonies. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, however, showcase a broader global perspective, highlighting titles popular in other regions.

This diversity is a positive development, particularly given the increasing prominence of alternative app stores. The Huawei AppGallery Awards are likely to gain further recognition as a result.
