Teorie, discussioni e una marea esorbitante di anticipazioni si sono accumulate nel corso delle settimane antecedenti ai The Game Awards. Dal discusso sesto capitolo di un franchise leggendario al ritorno, ormai confermato, di Death Stranding sul palco della cerimonia, con la presenza di Hideo Kojima e Guillermo del Toro a validare la bontà delle prossime anteprime. Alla fine dei conti, stiamo parlando di una cerimonia che ha scaturito un successo fenomenale già a partire dalla sua primissima edizione, quella di due anni fa, e che ha ormai ottenuto un titolo prestigioso (ma ufficioso) come quello degli Oscar videoludici. Alla conclusione di una nottata fatta di teaser, annunci e tante discussioni, però, quali saranno state le vittorie decisive di questa edizione? È tempo di scoprirlo.
