It’s a tradition every year in December: the small world of video games will meet to elect the best creations in the field, within the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. In 2022, the ceremony will take place on December 9 at 1:30 a.m. morning for us French people. In total, 31 categories are announced, and as often, the surprises are likely to be numerous or even incomprehensible for the players. But let’s not get carried away, you still have the opportunity to influence the votes (so little, 10% mixed with the 90% of the jury’s voteby clicking here).

At the top of the nominations, we find God of War: Ragnarök (10 nominations), Elden Ring (7 nominations) and Horizon Forbidden West (7 nominations) which should win a lot of prizes this year.
