The Game Awards: GOTY 2025 Nominations
Who will take home the Game of the Year award?
On December 11, The Game Awards 2025 will air, the traditional year-end event where dozens of new projects are shown in absolute preview and what are probably the most coveted awards in the world of video games are assigned. The most coveted among the coveted is certainly the title of Game of the Year: which game will be crowned this year?
Game of the Year Candidates
Among the candidates for the Game of the Year 2025 award, we find some very easy-to-predict names, above all Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, perhaps the big favorite, but also titles acclaimed by critics and players like Hollow Knight: Silksong or Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Hades II, launched in 2024 but out of early access in September, is also no surprise. Perhaps one could discuss the excellent (but not outstanding) Donkey Kong Bananza and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which didn't fully convince, despite Kojima's undeniable authorship.
