Elden Ring Now Has More GOTY Awards Than The Last of Us 2

It’s safe to say Elden Ring has had quite the year in 2022. The game was very well received, gaining a plethora of accolades from the media. A recent tracking project posted on Resetera has now totalled just how many outlets have awarded the Action-RPG with a GOTY title. The award tracker which is still in progress has crowned Elden Ring with a staggering 332 outlets (including ours Elden Ring Review) with overall Game of the Year. This includes the likes of award shows such as The Game Awards, as well as news outlets that have rated the game. It now has more awards than the previous most wins which was The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020.

In case you missed it, we made our list of 2022 games which included GOTY of course going to Elden Ring, Best Soulslike, Best Surprise and more. Elden Ring looks to be racking up trophies left and right, and not slowing down anytime soon. Before the end of 2022 FromSoftware releases PVP update which added the challenging Colosseum. This mode has up to six players duke it out in duels, free-for-alls, and team fights. You can even bring in summons using Spirit Ashes.

2023 is just beginning but GOTY for this year will be hard to follow after Elden Ring’s success. Previously President & CEO of Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., Yasuo Miyakawa has expressed interest in “expanding beyond the realm of games” for the new IP. Exactly what that might mean is still unknown but leaves room for all sorts of mediums to go into. The title is also getting its own board game which smashed its Kickstarter goal tenfold. Over 16.6 million units worldwide just goes to show the major strides the game has made.
