The Huawei AppGallery Awards 2024 have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. Summoners War emerged as the surprise victor for Game of the Year.

While the Pocket Gamer Awards set a high bar for mobile game recognition, the Huawei AppGallery Awards offer a compelling alternative perspective, celebrating its fifth anniversary with a unique selection of winners.

Here's a breakdown of the winners:

Best Game: Summoners War

The AppGallery's selections highlight a global perspective, favoring titles popular in regions beyond the West.
