Elden Ring has become one of the most popular games on the market thanks to its expansive open world and engaging gameplay. Last year, FromSoftware’s latest work managed to claim the Game of the Year title and several other awards at the Game Awards 2022. It certainly deserves the numerous praises it has received, and it may not surprise some people that the game is able to take home another big crown.
At this year’s Game Developer Choice Awards, Elden Ring was crowned as the Game of the Year in 2023 and even granted the title for two other awards: Best Design and Best Visual Arts. This event marks the fourth time Elden Ring has been named GOTY, with other instances occurring at the 2023 New York Game Awards and the 26th annual Dice Awards.
Elden Ring was not the only game that shone brightly at GDCA because God of War Ragnarök also brought home three awards: Best Audio, Best Technology, and Audience Award. The two titles are still dominating the gaming industry despite already being released for some time.
