The Game Awards 2021 ha annunciato le nomination per i premi di quest'anno, pubblicando la lista completa dei finalisti per le varie categorie. Come noto, lo show si svolgerà nella notte fra il 9 e il 10 dicembre a partire dalle 2.00.
Si può dire che il vincitore morale dei Game Awards 2021 è per il momento Deathloop, con ben nove nomination, mentre manca clamorosamente Forza Horizon 5 e gli utenti già cominciano a lamentarsi della cosa. Ne parleremo a breve.
