After a night filled with awards and world premieres, there were plenty of games to celebrate: here's every winner from The Game Awards 2022.

The Game Awards once again proved a huge success, and FromSoftware's sprawling open-world RPG Elden Ring took home several well-deserved awards.

The game beat off God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Scorn and Stray to win the award. In the buildup to the awards, lots of talk was centered on who would win Game of the Year, with the general consensus being it would probably come down to two titles: Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarök. Aside from Game of the Year, Elden Ring also managed to win Best Role-Playing Game, Best Game Direction, and Best Art Direction too. While each title on this list deserves its place among the nominees, the level of depth offered in terms of Elden Ring's customization options and build variety makes it a worthy winner. These predictions proved to be unfounded though, and in the end, Elden Ring brought home the award. This was unsurprisingly ratified at the Game Awards 2022, when the action RPG managed to win four awards, including the coveted Game of the Year award itself.

Fantasy RPG “Elden Ring,” developed by Japanese video game development company FromSoftware, was recently crowned The Game Awards' 2022 Game of the Year.

Elden Ring won Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards Thursday night, but the more interesting thing happened immediately after. No, not the prankster who ...

I expect a story next year about the shocking number of players who bought and played Elden Ring's DLC, and a story four years from now about how Elden Ring changed this decade's open world games. A decade ago game design nerds lost their minds over how Dark Souls flew in the face of the big budget design trends of its time, and from its surprise success came a wave of action-RPGs emulating Dark Souls instead. Will Elden Ring get a single, big expansion like Artorias, released right around the one year anniversary, perhaps adding a full region to the map? Personally I hope FromSoftware has been putting in work on some performance updates to fix Elden Ring's stuttering; DLSS and FSR support would be lovely, too. One big expansion, a 2023 Game of the Year edition, and done—onto the next game. Elden Ring was the biggest game of 2022—but how big is it in the grand scale? I'd expect Elden Ring to lean towards the absurdly good side, with at least 40% of players snapping up a meaty expansion. Final Fantasy 16 will be big, sure, but the best-selling game in the entire series, Final Fantasy 7, has taken about 24 years to sell as many copies as Elden Ring did in less than one. Yet Dark Souls, the series that people haven't been able to shut up about for the past decade, has sold 33 million copies combined; Elden Ring sold 17 million in just months. Has the most-played, bestselling game of any given year in PC gaming history actually been an expansion for an existing game? The rest of gaming's best-known names coming in 2023 actually aren't Elden Ring big, despite having longer histories. Any other videogame of its scale released in 2022 would've been desperate to hold onto all that player attention with a drip feed of new quests and microtransactions.

Hi everyone, it's Jason. Today we've got a dispatch from the Game Awards in Los Angeles, but first...

The vast Lands Between from the Game of the Year Elden Ring have been recreated in Super Mario World SNES style, and fans of both games are delighted.

- FromSoftware Although the Lands Between is already large and complex, further DLC expansions could make the game even more massive. That said, Elden Ring is still growing, with the These fans suggested that an Elden Ring version of a Kaizo map should be created next. While a recent [Elden Ring](https://screenrant.com/tag/elden-ring/)'s Lands Between have been reimagined in [Super Mario World](https://screenrant.com/tag/super-mario/) SNES fashion.

Longtime fans of the series will be hoping the developer's increased popularity will put more eyes on the series, which does appear to be the case so far as Elden Ring and Dark Souls fans are [currently flocking to the Armored Core subreddit](https://www.thegamer.com/dark-souls-and-elden-ring-fans-are-flocking-to-armored-core-reddit-for-advice/) in droves. Hopefully, Arestame will give Elden Ring fans the chance to take Bill Clinton into The Lands Bewteen in the future. Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki gleefully took to the stage, only to be [overshadowed by a random teenager](https://www.thegamer.com/stage-invader-hijacks-elden-rings-game-of-the-year-win/) who took the microphone to dedicate the award to his "reformed Orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton." In a video uploaded to their Twitter account, modder Arestame has shared a short clip of themselves running around The Lands Between as Bill Clinton. The video shows the 42nd president of the United States exploring Limgrave, big wooden club in hand, before coming across a standard enemy. However, one Elden Ring fan wasn't content with just chuckling at all the jokes, and has taken it one step further by making that teenager's dream come true.

A reader celebrates the success of Elden Ring and berates publishers for not following its lead in making games that challenge an audience.

Those people didn’t go looking for Call Of Duty and somehow buy the wrong game by accident. People want real games and if they can’t get them from the big name companies they’ll go elsewhere for it. [top 10 selling games of all time](https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/15/elden-ring-is-now-in-the-top-10-selling-games-of-all-time-in-the-us-17009390/) – all time! The must want to be pushed through a game like a fairground ride, instead of doing or thinking about things for themselves. It only won four awards, less than God Of War Ragnarök but they were all the most important ones: Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction, and Game of the Year (and Best Role-Playing Game). No publisher wants that to become the standard. And Best Game Direction. You haven’t got to be good to beat Elden Ring, you’ve just got to care and I absolutely love it for that. These publishers don’t want to take the risk. It wasn’t as hardcore as a From game but it definitely wasn’t press ‘A’ to win either. Its characters spoil every puzzle before you’ve even walked into the room, none of the fights are hard, and you’re led by the nose to everything. The most significant one God Of War got was Best Narrative and personally I don’t believe it even deserves that (Immortality should’ve won).

Elden Ring is headed to the tabletop! Following in the wake of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, From Software's latest is bei…

Exploration and combat keep the focus on what to do next on the table, rather than checking up on rules, while still managing to capture the feel of Soulsborne combat and discovery in their translation to a quest book, battle grid and map tiles. The open row of initiative cards declares what a boss is going to do, and when they'll do it - a fun encapsulation of reading a boss' animation patterns - but being too reckless or greedy with hits is, in true Soulslike fashion, a quick way back to the Site of Grace. Magic, meanwhile, works in its own way, with the caster needing to build up focus points before unleashing a barrage of spells. In motion, the decisions during combat feel difficult and tense, but your brainpower is focused squarely on what to do in the moment, not how to do it. (The player in combat continues to take their turns while the rest of the group keep exploring, so things don't slow down.) One page gives you details on what you're facing and your objective - which might be to simply kill everything, or one particular foe - while the other offers a gridded map depicting the battlefield. Get into a fight, though, and you start to see what makes Elden Ring: The Board Game really tick. It's more akin to a turn-based RPG like Final Fantasy as characters switch between three rows on their side of the battlefield to adopt an aggressive, neutral or defensive stance. More precisely, it's a game of three thirds, with exploration estimated to take up an hour of each 90-minute session and the boss occupying the rest. These icons smartly reimagine the video game's landmarks in cardboard form, from Effigies of the Martyr that can be used to summon your companions into battles (more on that in a moment) to map pillars that must be reached before a second stack of hex tiles can be placed. NPCs can also make an appearance, throwing up opportunities to trade with the merchants that occupy the Lands Between - for general goods or a secret that may help with the final fight - and pick up new quests from familiar faces. Like wandering between dungeons in the video game, these quests won't be in a fixed order - instead, players can freely choose which they take on next (and swap to a different one if they find their current boss too tough) along a non-linear campaign. Despite being the size of a footstool and

Following a bizarre mention of Bill Clinton at the Game Awards, he's been modded into Elden Ring as a playable character.

Just hours after the Game Awards wrapped, the former US President was playable in-game. But his short spiel about Bill Clinton combined with Elden Ring being awarded Game of the Year has spawned a Now, an Elden Ring modder has put the former US President in the game.

Majorly, God of War: Ragnarök dominated the event by welcoming six awards out of the 10 nominations that they had. The sky-high anticipations ended with the announcement of every award and sealed the deal with Game of the Year to Elden Ring.
