So far it is very hard to say who will lift the award on the night. Initially, the year was dominated by Elden Ring, but during the last quarter, Santa Monica Studios stunned the world with their Magnum opus, God of War: Ragnarok. But one thing we can say for sure, no matter which title wins the accolade, each and every game nominations are brilliant in their own right.
