Chiaramente tra i giochi più nominati troviamo Elden Ring e God of War: Ragnarok, in lizza per diverse categorie, inclusa la principale. Desta invece non poca sorpresa trovare Stray, l’avventura felina di Annapurna, tra i titoli candidati a Gioco dell’Anno, accanto a produzioni di ben altro respiro come Xenoblade Chronicles 3 e Horizon: Forbidden West.

Per il resto, sappiamo che quest’anno la cerimonia degli Oscar del videogioco durerà meno rispetto alla precedente, anche se comunque vanterà la presenza di oltre 50 titoli.
