The Game Awards 2023: Άνοιξε η ψηφοφορία για τα κορυφαία games της χρονιάς

Η εκδήλωση The Game Awards 2023 του Geoff Keighley είναι προγραμματισμένη για τις 7 Δεκεμβρίου 2023 και παραδοσιακά αναμένεται ότι θα γίνουν πολλές αποκαλύψεις νέων τίτλων, όπως για παράδειγμα το πρώτο trailer για το πολυαναμενόμενο GTA 6, ενώ θα βραβευτούν (το λέει και το όνομα της εκδήλωσης) τα κορυφαία games της χρονιάς που πλησιάζει στο τέλος της.

Το 2023 θεωρείται δικαίως μία από τις καλύτερες χρονιές στην ιστορία του gaming, καθώς κυκλοφόρησαν πολλοί σπουδαίοι τίτλοι, γι’ αυτό η ανάδειξη του Game of the Year αναμένεται τρομερά αμφίρροπη. Ήδη έχουν γίνει γνωστές οι υποψηφιότητες για όλες τις κατηγορίες (μπορείτε να τις δείτε παρακάτω) και έχει ανοίξει η επίσημη ιστοσελίδα απ’ όπου μπορεί να ψηφίσει ο καθένας μας.

Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι από την λίστα των υποψηφιοτήτων για GOTY απουσιάζει το περίφημο Starfield που κυκλοφόρησε τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβριο, ενώ τα Alan Wake 2 και Baldur’s Gate 3 έχουν λάβει τις περισσότερες υποψηφιότητες (από 8) για να ακολουθήσει το Spider-Man 2 με 7, το Super Mario Bros. Wonder με 6, το The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom με 5 και το Resident Evil 4 Remake με 4.
