If it has the same impact as Skyrim, there’s likely enough time between November 11 and the cutoff date for Starfield to cinch the Game of the Year Award. Meanwhile, next to nothing is known about Starfield, but Bethesda titles tend to be seminal moments in the industry. It’s only likely that Elden Ring grows even more on its fans with this headway. On the assumption they do release this year and on the assumption that these titles are as fantastic as fans want them to be, it’s going to be a tough battle.Įlden Ring is already out, and there’s little doubt that the time bodes well for it. A golden rule in the industry is that anything can fall short of its hype, no matter the developer. The second is that these games could flop. The gaming industry has seemingly seen an uptick of delays over the past two years, but in part, that may be why this year has so many big contenders.
There are two major caveats to this, and the first is whether these major games do release. The Game Awards: Elden Ring, God of War: Ragnarok, Starfield, Final Fantasy 16, Hogwarts Legacy That’s not to suggest the Game of the Year winner has ever been clear-cut going into it or that there isn’t competition year after year, but 2022 has a ton of big AAA games with a lot of pedigree among them, potentially coming out. While it may seem like a closed deal to some, the fact of the matter is that this year could shape up to provide the biggest and bloodiest battle for the title yet. RELATED: Gamers Are Debating Early Game of the Year Contenders Two Sony first-party games are named among the winners, but one is Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2 and the other is Santa Monica’s God of War.
If this proves to be the case, then FromSoftware would be the first developer to win at this specific award ceremony twice.
Elden Ring’s popularity is no secret, and it’s worth mentioning that FromSoft also won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2019 with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Many will be specifically watching The Game Awards to see what is named GOTY there.īut, for many players, that decision may seem already set. What’s more, it has to be before a certain cut-off date at most award ceremonies, which has negatively impacted several games in the past. Many games launch in the fall season, and they have to be considered. Normally, it would currently be a little too early to be discussing end-of-year awards in the gaming industry.
