World Video Game Hall of Fame induction ceremony returns to in-person
The World Video Game Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be back in-person for the first time since 2019 at the Strong National Museum of Play. It’ll be held in the new World Video Game Hall of Fame rotunda at 10:30 a.m. on May 9.
The 2024 Hall of Fame class will be announced during a special ceremony at ESL Digital Worlds.
The 12 finalists this year draw from four decades of gaming, from Atari Asteroids, played on coin-fed consoles in arcades, to Guitar Hero, for living-room rockers who compete on a plastic guitar. Asteroids, which debuted in 1979, and Guitar Hero, which arrived in 2005, are nominated alongside 1980s launches Elite, Metroid, SimCity and Ultima, and from the 1990s: Myst, Neopets, Resident Evil, Tokimeki Memorial, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and You Don’t Know Jack.
The Hall of Fame, launched by The Strong in 2015, recognizes games for their longevity, geographic reach and influence on video game design and pop culture.
