At tonight’s awards, “God of War Ragnarok” leads with 10 nominations in nine categories (the actors for Kratos and Atreus, the game’s two protagonists, are both up for the best performance award). Also available is “Mineko’s Night Market,” a highly anticipated adventure game/social simulator themed around cats and Japanese culture. “ ‘Ragnarok’ by Santa Monica Studio is the best told story in a video game in 2022.” “Innocence” told the story of Amicia and her little brother Hugo navigating a plague-ridden 14th-century France. The ceremony, a several-hour long celebration of video games and their surrounding communities, also serves as a promotional vehicle for upcoming games: much of the Awards’ runtime is devoted to trailer reveals and game announcements.

The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley's annual awards show that doubles as a major news event, promises brand-new game reveals and world premiere trailers when ...

The Game Awards 2022 featured a range of major surprises, including fresh World Premiere game reveals, flashy trailers, and more.

In addition to lightsaber gameplay, the new look showed off a rideable eagle-like creature, and plenty of high drama. It launches for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC on 24 January 2023, and now has a demo available for everyone to play. It’s the long-awaited Judas, a Bioshock-like adventure game starring strange creatures, a guilded world, and plenty of post-apocalyptic action. This showed off a futuristic world to romp through, plenty of neon glow, and new high-powered attacks. The cinematic trailer for the upcoming title showed off a lithe warrior facing off against a witch creature, all in gorgeous chiaroscuro lighting. This storybook-like game features a whimsical, isometric art style, and follows Cereza (a young Bayonetta) on her earliest adventures. In the trailer, Hellboy was seen fighting a were-beast in brawling, cinematic combat. In future, the game’s protagonist, The Beheaded, will be joined by Castlevania protagonists Alucard and Richter Belmont in a fight against Dracula. It’s time for the industry to recognise the games of the year – the successes, triumphs, and major delights we all enjoyed along the way. In After Us, you play as an ethereal young girl roaming a vast, post-apocalyptic world filled with strange environments, giant ghost animals, and plenty of beauty. With 2022 now fading into the rearview, it’s officially (and thankfully) time to focus on the future. You can follow along with The Game Awards 2022 on

The winners for best esports game, team, player, coach and event were announced at The Game Awards 2022.

Worlds 2022 was a treat for esports fans and even got the attention of [media outlets that don’t normally cover esports](https://theathletic.com/3760389/2022/11/04/league-of-legends-worlds-faker/).

He is now the coach of MIBR. Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker established himself as the best VALORANT player in the world this year. Riot has provided a lot of support for women and marginalized genders via the VCT Game Changers Circuit, which is arguably the best circuit for women and marginalized genders in any esport. The winner of best esports game this year is just over two years old, which speaks volume about how far the game has come in such a short period.

The 2022 Game Awards featured news and trailers from some of the biggest games for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox.

The Game Awards returned to the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday. Here's which games took home the night's biggest prizes.

While "God of War Ragnarok" led the nominations, "Elden Ring" ultimately took home the night's biggest prize for game of the year.

Elden Ring (FromSoftware/Bandai Namco) Crashers aside, the ninth annual ceremony was packed with surprises, including first looks at “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” “The Super Mario Bros. The FromSoftware team’s winning moment was derailed slightly when a crasher took to the stage, thanking “reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton.”

'God of War Ragnarok' bagged the most wins with six, but it was 'Elden Ring' that took home Game of the Year.

Rappler is among the selected publications that vote every year. This year saw the clash between two AAA juggernauts in God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring. The FromSoftware-developed open-world RPG also won Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction and Best RPG.

An unidentified person appeared to follow the Elden Ring developers on stage after Elden Ring won The Game Award's game of the year award.

A group of security personnel appeared to cut him off and take him off stage. After the Elden Ring developers were ushered off stage, the unidentified person approached the microphone: “I think I want to nominate this award to my reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton,” he said. After entering the stage, he appeared to congratulate developers before standing behind Miyazaki, largely unnoticed, as the creative director accepted the award.

From Death Stranding 2 to Hades II, The Game Awards 2022 gave us a ton to get excited about.

[Hades II](https://kotaku.com/hades-2-early-access-release-date-supergiant-chronos-1849872741) for me. The Game Awards didn’t skimp on the trailers this year, and that’s even with Instead we got an Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon trailer, and people are very excited about it. We got another look at the upcoming Super Mario Bros. It’s a coproduction between Bandai Namco and Amazon Games, and has a surprisingly classic anime look to its characters. Get ready to use all of Aloy’s tools and abilities to get through this new challenge. Tekken 8 is coming, fighting game fans, and it’s bringing back some old favorites like Paul, Law, and Jack-8. New weapons, new armor, and a whole new world is waiting for us next year, and I’m fully prepared to get sucked back into Destiny again. There’s the BioShock hands, the weird BioShock enemies hopped up on a weird drug, and machinery. It plays with perspective and gives some mind-bending Portal vibes for sure. If you’re a fan of either thing, this will be something to check out, and if you’re a fan of both, you are eating well. Gaming’s biggest night has come and gone, leaving with it a collection of discourse and a pile of new trailers for us to watch and re-watch over the holidays.

The 2022 Game Awards' most shocking world premiere was this clown.

Going back and re-watching the end of the Game Awards livestream, you can see the kid get up and beeline for the FromSoftware crew as they make for the stage to accept the award. Security was making for the stage even before he could finish with a “thank you.” Shortly after, host Geoff Keighley [announced](https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1601066733564928001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1601066733564928001%7Ctwgr%5E069c0a0feb70abd6d7fb02ffc3d5184c7555a45f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fkinja.com%2Fembed%2Finset%2Fiframe%3Fautosize%3D1id%3Dtwitter-1601066733564928001) the person had been arrested.

Sorry Kratos, but this was always going to happen. Elden Ring The Game Awards Winner-1. Ten months after it launched ...

While the game that The Game Awards names Game of the Year is the one the industry and its players tend to recognize most, there are a lot more official awards to be given out. While Ragnarok is great and probably would have been named Game of the Year in almost any other 12-month period, it's hard to argue Elden Ring doesn't deserve it. [Horizon Forbidden West](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/horizon-forbidden-west/) and Plague Tell Requiem were never likely to stop Elden Ring from winning the big one, the winner's one real rival emerged as FromSoftware rounded the final bend with The Game Awards in sight. Months after dataminers discovered a colosseum hidden in The Lands Between, Elden Ring got DLC centered around that very building. Something many of [the more than 12 million of you who have played it](https://www.thegamer.com/elden-ring-12-million-copies-sold/) considered a foregone conclusion for the majority of the past 12 months. [God Of War Ragnarok](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/god-of-war-ragnarok/) launched in November, posing the one true threat to Elden Ring's crown.

The Game Awards is a chance to have fun with fashion and to lean into the themes that are so often in the games the night is celebrating, so it was great to see some people really doing that last night. [Other publications wrote about the discourse](https://twitter.com/Shannon_Liao/status/1601017480733806592), developers weighed in, and the lead-up to The Game Awards became less about speculation over which game would win GOTY (spoilers: it was Elden Ring) and more about whether or not Josef Fares would wear a skin-tight t-shirt again (spoilers: he didn’t).
