The Game Awards 2021 has returned to the face-to-face model after a year marked by the pandemic and by distance. The Microsoft Theater Los Angeles, California, has opened its doors to celebrate excellence in the video game industry during a complex year 2021; at the same time that it has helped us to know a few dozen announcements and not a few world firsts. That special flavor of celebration, of joy, is savored this Friday night especially by It Takes Two, one of the great winners of the night. With a total of 3 awards, Hazelight’s title and Josef Fares becomes Game of the Year, the Game of the Year (GOTY).
The accolades presented by Geoff Keighley have also left other prominent big names returning home with awards under their arms; from Metroid Dread as best action and adventure game until Forza Horizon for best driving / sport game, accessibility and best sound design; Deathloop with best art direction and direction, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy with best narrative or Kena: Bridge of Spirits as best independent game and best game for a newcomer studio.
Apart from all the recognitions and awards given, the The Game Awards gala has also served to see the first trailer of the Halo series; Silent Hill’s father’s new project, Slitterhead; the first trailer for Sonic The Movie 2 and the first trailer for Sonic Frontiers. On the other hand, we have seen a Wonder Woman video game developed by Warner Bros .; the release date of Tunic; Forspoken with release date in May; Star Wars: Eclipse by Quantic Dream; o Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, one of the most spectacular of the night with its new trailer.
Then, whether or not you agree with the results, you can see the complete list of categories with the winners marked in bold font, whose result is none other than the sum of the votes of a total of 103 specialized media and influencers highlights (90%) and the public (10%).
