The Game Awards 2022: H λίστα με τις φετινές υποψηφιότητες!

Η αντίστροφη μέτρηση για τα φετινά The Game Awards – τα οποία θα διεξαχθούν στο Microsoft Theater του Los Angeles – έχει ήδη αρχίσει, με τον Καναδό δημοσιογράφο και εμπνευστή του θεσμού, Geoff Keighley, να αποκαλύπτει μέσα από ένα σύντομο livestream τη λίστα με τις φετινές υποψηφιότητες, ανοίγοντας παράλληλα και την ψηφοφορία του κοινού!

Από τη λίστα με τους διεκδικητές του βραβείου «Game of The Year» ξεχωρίζουν τα Elden Ring (συνολικά 7 υποψηφιότητες) και God of War Ragnarök (συνολικά 10 υποψηφιότητες), ενώ για πρώτη φορά εισάγεται στο θεσμό η κατηγορία «Best Adaptation», η οποία επιβραβεύσει τη μεταφορά βιντεοπαιχνιδιών τόσο στη μικρή όσο και στη μεγάλη οθόνη. Σε ό,τι αφορά τις υποψηφιότητες, «προβάδισμα» στη φετινή διοργάνωση έχει η Sony Interactive Entertainment (συνολικά 20 υποψηφιότητες), ακολουθούμενη από την Annapurna Interactive και την Nintendo με 11 υποψηφιότητες έκαστη, την Bandai Namco Entertainment με 8 υποψηφιότητες και την Riot Games με 6 υποψηφιότητες. Η διαδικασία για την ανάδειξη των μεγάλων νικητών έχει ήδη ξεκινήσει και όσοι επιθυμείτε να ρίξετε το «κουκί» σας, μπορείτε να επισκεφτείτε τον επίσημο ιστότοπο ή το επίσημο The Game Awards Voting Bot στο Discord. Η φετινή απονομή θα πραγματοποιηθεί τα ξημερώματα της Παρασκευής 9 Δεκεμβρίου και θα προβλήθεί ζωντανά σε περισσότερες από 40 πλατφόρμες περιεχομένου (YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok Live κ.ά.) και σε επιλεγμένες κινηματογραφικές αίθουσες IMAX. Το περσινό σόου σημείωσε ρεκόρ παρακολούθησης με 85 εκατομμυρία livestreams, καθιστώντας τα The Game Awards ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα livestream events στο Διαδίκτυο. Οι κατηγορίες και οι υποψήφιοι τίτλοι διαμορφώνονται ως εξής (ακολουθεί «σεντόνι»):
