Game of the year nominees are:

  • Astro Bot
  • Balatro
  • Black Myth: Wukong
  • Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
  • Metaphor: Refantazio

Yes, DLCs are included in categories. Kind of ridiculous TBH.

How can Shadow of ErdTree be a contender for game of the year when it's a DLC/expansion pack?

[โ€“] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They adjusted the rules this year I believe, they now allow DLCs in GOTY, and also things like new seasons to games. It is dumb, and I personally think it removes what little credibility the game awards had(which wasn't a lot to me).

Will catch up on all the adverts that are if interest the next day.
