Can a game win GOTY twice? One title is going to find out this year
The Game Awards are upon us once again, recognizing and celebrating the finest games of 2024 across a wide variety of genres. The nominees for this year’s ceremony were just revealed, and a controversial entry could lead to a first for the ceremony.
Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC expansion for FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, has been nominated for Game of the Year. The expansion stands alongside five other standalone games that were nominated: Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Elden Ring already won Game of the Year back in 2022, which means that if Shadow of the Erdtree takes home the top prize, it would be the first time in the ceremony’s history that a DLC expansion won the award, as well as make Elden Ring the first game to win the Game of the Year award twice.
