Op 8 december zal The Game Awards 2022 plaatsvinden en met nog een paar weken te gaan, zijn vanavond de genomineerden bekendgemaakt. Meer dan 100 media hebben als jury opgetreden om de genomineerden per categorie te bepalen.
Sony Interactive Entertainment voert de boventoon, want de games van dit bedrijf zijn in totaal 20 keer genomineerd. Annapurna Interactive en Nintendo volgen daarna met elk 11 nominaties, gevolgd door Bandai Namco met 8 en Riot Games met 6.
Microsoft komt niet terug in de nominaties, maar heel gek is dat niet met relatief weinig first party releases dit jaar. Hieronder op een rijtje de verschillende categorieën en de genomineerden. Het is vanaf nu mogelijk om te stemmen. Dit is mogelijk tot 8 december 03:00 uur.
The Game Awards zullen in de nacht van 8 op 9 december plaatsvinden.
