The Game Awards 2022: ‘Elden Ring’ Wins Game Of The Year Award
(CTN NEWS) – The Game Awards 2022 had its first live event since the COVID outbreak on Thursday night in Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater.
“Elden Ring,” developed by FromSoftware, was celebrated after receiving the coveted Game of the Year award.
Director Hidetaka Miyazaki remarked, “I’m incredibly relieved. We had so many challenges making this game. “I don’t think I’ll make any more fascinating games than this one.

We still have work to do about “Elden Ring,” so receiving this GOTY award is quite encouraging.”
“Elden Ring” had seven nominations going into the ceremony. In addition, “Elden Ring” received awards for its direction, roleplaying, and art direction.
The most recent victory for FromSoftware came in 2019 for “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.”
Geoff Keighley, the creator and host of The Game Awards 2022, felt that Thursday’s programme had famous gaming personalities like Xbox’s Phil Spencer.
And previous Game Awards winners Hideo Kojima and Josef Fares in attendance was a welcome return to the ceremony’s regular shape.
An unidentified person took the microphone before being escorted offstage at the show’s end. After the ceremony, Geoff Keighley tweeted that the person who snuck onstage had been arrested.
The individual who interrupted our Game of the Year moment has been arrested.

Of course, the ceremony’s debut Best Adaptation category was also promoted this year in Game Awards 2022.
Keighley told The Times before the show that 2022 is the ideal year to begin recognizing “genuine” and innovative approaches to gaming entertainment.
In November, he added via video chat that “[the category] speaks to how gaming is sweeping and dominating pop culture.”
“Celebrating the strength of this medium as the biggest, most dominant form of entertainment is a part of the mission of our event. So, in my opinion, this is just another illustration of its ongoing spread.”
The first Best Adaptation prize went to Netflix’s “Arcane,” an animated adaptation of Riot’s “League of Legends” universe.
In addition to receiving awards, “Stray,” “Bayonetta 3,” and “God of War Ragnarök,” which took home six categories, were also recognized in Game Awards 2022.
