Geoff Keighley a anunțat nominalizările pentru The Game Awards 2022 pe 14 noiembrie, prin intermediul unui clip publicat pe YouTube. Până acum, God of War: Ragnarok și Elden Ring par să fie cele mai populare titluri ale anului.
The Game Awards 2022 se va desfășura pe 8 decembrie, la Microsoft Theatre din Los Angeles. Până atunci, gamerii își pot vota jocurile favorite pe Discord, cu ajutorul unui bot de pe serverul oficial The Game Awards. Votarea se va încheia pe 7 decembrie la ora 21:00 ET.
Cei de la Sony au reușit să obțină 20 de nominalizări, fiind urmați de Nintendo și Annapurna Interactive cu câte 11, Bandai Namco Entertainment cu 8 și Riot Games cu 6 nominalizări. Cum spuneam, God of War pare să fie marele câștigător al evenimentului (cel puțin din punct de vedere al nominalizarilor), iar Elden Ring îl urmează îndeaproape cu un număr similar de nominalizări. Contrar așteptărilor, al treilea cel mai popular titlu de pe liste este un indie, pe care probabil l-ai ghicit deja. Stray, jocul cu pisica, intră in cursa The Game Awards cu nici mai mult nici mai puțin de 6 nominalizări.
Anul acesta avem parte și de o noutate cu privire la categoriile participante. Va fi introdusă în premieră categoria Best Adaptation, care va premia cel mai bun film sau serial adaptat. Aici participa Arcane: League of Legends, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, The Cuphead Show, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 și Uncharted.
