Tarsier Studios’ REANIMAL leads the 2026 Horror Game Awards nominations with 10 nods, while Resident Evil Requiem has nine. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 20 in London, and public voting for Players’ Choice and Horror Content Creator of the Year is open through Nov. 11.
REANIMAL leads the 2026 Horror Game Awards nominations with 10, followed by Resident Evil Requiem with nine, according to Bloody Disgusting’s report on the nominees. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 20 in London, while public voting for two awards remains open through Nov. 11.
The nominees span more than 100 titles across 21 categories, according to Bloody Disgusting. After REANIMAL and Resident Evil Requiem, Silent Hill Townfall, Hellraiser: Revival and Silver Pines each received eight nominations. Project Songbird, The Skin Stapler and Tenebris Somnia each received seven; Endacopia received six; and Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake received five.
The listed nominees for Game of the Year include REANIMAL, Resident Evil Requiem, Silent Hill Townfall, Hellraiser: Revival, Silver Pines, Project Songbird, The Skin Stapler, Tenebris Somnia, Endacopia and Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake. Routine, Directive 8020, Heaven Does Not Respond, No Means Nothing, Offering App and The Blood of Dawnwalker are also named in the category.
The ceremony is set to take place at 26 Leake Street in London. Co-creators Phil Dickens and Will Penkeyman are due to host, with Ash Millman as co-producer. Bloody Disgusting also reported that Dead Meat’s Zoran Gvojic is on the jury and its own Harrison Abbott is on the Critics’ Jury.
A Broad Field for Horror Awards
The nominations put a large slate of horror games in contention, rather than limiting the awards conversation to the two leading titles. Five games received at least eight nominations, and the Game of the Year field includes a further range of nominees. The totals show how frequently each title was nominated across the awards; they do not by themselves establish which game will win or how the jury ranks the contenders.
The public has a direct role in two categories: Players’ Choice and Horror Content Creator of the Year. Those votes give fans a separate way to influence the results, while the remaining awards rely on a jury process. The distinction matters for readers following the race: public support affects the outcome in two specified categories, not every award.

How Voting Shapes the Awards
According to Bloody Disgusting, the public-vote categories are nominated and decided by the public. Voting is open until Nov. 11, and the public-vote winners receive their respective awards. The report says the nominees in other categories were put forward by members of the main jury, the accessibility jury and the developer jury.
For the other categories, the five leading entries in the public vote are then returned to the juries, which vote as a single block to determine the winner, the report says. The announcement therefore describes two different routes to an award: a direct public decision in the designated fan categories and jury decisions in the other categories. The source does not provide further details about the scoring or how the juries resolve ties.
“Over 100 titles compete in 21 categories.”

Results Await November Ceremony
No winners have been announced in the source material; the nominations are not results. The report does not provide the complete nominee list for every category or explain the number of nominees in each one. It also does not give additional details about the voting platform beyond directing readers to the awards’ voting page.
The public vote remains open through Nov. 11, so the outcome of Players’ Choice and Horror Content Creator of the Year is still pending. The report describes how jury voting works for the other categories, but it does not state how votes are weighted or identify the eventual winners.
Voting Closes Before the Ceremony
Public voting for Players’ Choice and Horror Content Creator of the Year is scheduled to continue through Nov. 11. The awards ceremony is then set for Nov. 20 at 26 Leake Street in London, where the winners are expected to be announced.
