Elden Ring has been out for several months already but it continues to fascinate soulslike fans all over the world… but not only! Thanks to its breathtaking graphics, its open world filled with creatures or treasures of all kinds, the FromSoftware game has brought together fans of Dark Souls games but also newcomers who have been able to gently discover the tryhard. At the end of last September, production exceeded 17.5 million copies sold and recorded a nomination for The Game Awards 2022 as Potential Game of the Year. While God of War Ragnarök is a formidable opponent for the title of Game of the Year, Elden Ring today takes a breath of confidence with this prestigious award!
Golden Joystick Awards put Elden Ring on top
It was on November 22 that the Golden Joystick Awardsorganized this time by GamesRadar. For 40 years, the online ceremony (this year) recognizes the talents of the video game industry thanks to the votes of the community. This time, Elden Ring won the most awards:
- Best Visual Design
- Best Multiplayer Game
- Critics’ Choice Award
- Ultimate Game of the Year
Ultimate Game of the Year nominees: Elden Ring, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West, Immortality, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, God of War: Ragnarok, Return to Monkey Island, Teardown, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Bayonetta 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Neon White.
The latter is the most prestigious award of the Golden Joystick Awards and thus places FromSoftware’s production at the top of this fortieth edition of the ceremony. As The Game Awards 2022 draw near, this victory gives the developers of Elden Ring a little more confidence against the formidable nominees who will face the game on December 8th.
For Elon Musk, Elden Ring will be GOTY!
It is under a fanart that the new owner of Twitter expressed his choice: for him, Elden Ring should “definitely” be voted game of the year at the Game Awards. It is true that Elon Musk had repeatedly expressed his interest in the production of FromSoftware and in particular for the fight against Malenia which he often defines as intense but legendary.
This is not really surprising because the director of Tesla had declared to be a big fan of video games: “Some people do meditation or yoga to calm their nerves at the end of the day, but I prefer to do hardcore gaming”. Indeed, hardcore gaming is omnipresent in Entre-terre with bosses all more formidable than each other. This is a soulslike after all!
According to you then, which production will be elected Game Of The Year this December 8th?
There’s an Elden Ring player who since the game’s release has been constantly finding innovative ways to rediscover FromSoftware’s production. By performing totally unusual challenges, he has completed the game about 100 times and is not ready to stop!
