On December 7th, the Game Awards 2023 will take place in Los Angeles. As is customary around this time each year, the event organizers have revealed the nominees. Notable titles such as ‘Alan Wake 2’ and ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ lead the nominations and are strong contenders for the coveted Game of the Year (GOTY) award. The absence of the Starfield from Bethesda in the Game of the Year category might disappoint some

Geoff Keighley, the force behind the Summer Game Fest and this event, has also included titles like ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’ and ‘Super Mario Bros. Wonder,’ ‘Resident Evil 4 Remake,’ and ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2‘ in the GOTY lineup. However, ‘Starfield’ has conspicuously missed the chance to compete for the top honors, a situation it shares with ‘Hogwarts Legacy,’ despite being a commercial success.

The Game Awards 2023 and ‘Starfield’ Lone Nomination

The Game Awards 2023 boasts about thirty categories, yet the absence of the flagship title from Bethesda in the Game of the Year category might disappoint some. This is the case for ‘Starfield,’ one of the most anticipated titles in recent memory, promising an exciting space adventure in an open-world setting.

Upon ‘Starfield’s’ long-awaited arrival, it faced the challenge of meeting exceptionally high expectations set amidst promises and delays. While the game excels in various aspects, it perhaps struggled to live up to the considerable hype surrounding it. Nevertheless, for many players, ‘Starfield’ deserved a prominent nomination at The Game Awards 2023.

Bethesda’s project has secured a solitary nomination in the significant gaming event: a nomination for the Best Role-Playing Game category. However, the competition is fierce, with contenders like ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ ‘Final Fantasy XVI,’ ‘Lies of P,’ and ‘Sea of Stars.’ Now, the gaming community must await less than a month to discover the winners across all categories, as listed below.
