The gaming world gathered in December 2022 for the annual celebration of the best in video games: The Game Awards. And the big winner of the night, taking home the coveted Game of the Year award, was none other than FromSoftware’s critically acclaimed open-world action RPG, Elden Ring!
Elden Ring beat out some seriously tough competition, including God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and A Plague Tale: Requiem. The win was a testament to the game’s innovative open-world design, challenging yet rewarding combat, and the rich and lore-filled world crafted by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin.
The game also picked up several other awards throughout the night, including Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Role Playing Game, further solidifying its place as a true masterpiece.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Elden Ring, accepted the Game of the Year award with humility and gratitude, thanking the development team, the players, and the fans for their incredible support. The win was a major triumph for FromSoftware and a recognition of their unique and influential approach to game design. If you somehow missed out on Elden Ring in 2022, now’s definitely the time to experience the game that took home the top prize!
