Golden Joystick Awards 2025: 007: First Light, Big Walk and Resident Evil: Requiem mentioned

The source information provided confirms that the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 nominations have been announced and that the ceremony is scheduled for 20 November 2025.

The exact categories and the number of nominations per game are not included in the source set.

What happened

A Reddit post in r/gaming appeared with a title referencing the Golden Joystick Awards 2025. In that title, 007: First Light, Big Walk and Resident Evil: Requiem are named as the standout games. The available source information shows that the post points to nomination coverage, but not which publication or official announcement it is based on.

The external context in the source set does confirm that the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 nominations have been revealed. One of the supplied snippets even describes the 2025 edition as the 43rd annual ceremony and says the awards will take place on 20 November. Another context source also notes that public voting is open for the Ultimate Game of the Year shortlist, showing that the 2025 edition is actively moving toward the ceremony.

What is missing from this set is the full nominations list. As a result, it cannot be determined from the supplied information which categories 007: First Light, Big Walk and Resident Evil: Requiem were nominated in, or how many nominations each game received. It is also not confirmed whether the Reddit title is a summary of an external article or whether the post itself is the only visible source in this dataset.

Background

The Golden Joystick Awards are an annual game awards show decided by public vote. In the supplied context, the 2025 edition is described as the 43rd annual ceremony. That places the awards in a long-running tradition of fan-voted game honors, where nominations are typically announced before the final ceremony.

The source information shows that multiple articles are circulating about the nominations. One context source explicitly says the nominations have been announced and that the awards will take place on 20 November. Another source refers to the Ultimate Game of the Year shortlist and open public voting. That makes it clear the 2025 edition is in an active voting phase, but the supplied set does not include an official list of all categories, voting results, or confirmation of the exact placement of the three named games.

For this specific mention, the Reddit title is the only direct clue in the source set that 007: First Light, Big Walk and Resident Evil: Requiem received extra attention. Because the underlying nominations page or original article is not included, it remains unclear whether the title is a literal reproduction of an official headline or a summary of an external publication. The available context supports the timing of the nominations and the planned ceremony date, but not the full contents of the nominations announcement.
