Elden Ring has won the prestigious Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2022. Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok were considered to be the front-runners, despite the fact that this year’s nominations included a number of incredibly well-known titles.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Elden Ring, showed up on stage to collect the Game of the Year 2022 award. Miyazaki expressed appreciation to From Software, the creators of Elden Ring, and also the writer George R.R. Martin. Along with thanking the audience for their cooperation, Miyazaki hinted that there might be more Elden Ring content and other plans from From Software in the coming years.

The Game Awards are usually a big deal for gamers since they feature several announcements about forthcoming games as well as awards for outstanding titles throughout the whole year. The Game Awards feature some of the most awaited and esteemed awards awarded every year.
There were many excellent games in 2022, but only a few of them were genuinely deserving of the title Game of the Year award. The nominees for the Game Of The Year award 2022 were Plague Tale: Requiem, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Two of them, though, were among the most expected games of the year. When Elden Ring was first shown, it sparked a lot of excitement among gamers, owing to its distinct concept and gameplay.
Elden Ring is really innovative in terms of combat and adventure, and it has reasonably won the Game of the Year 2022 award. It was obvious that the competition would be between God of War Ragnarok and the 2018 Game of the Year winner because it was one of the most anticipated games of this year. As stated by the director, fans can now anticipate more fresh content in the game.
