[TGA 2022] ‘God of War Ragnarok’ Wins The Most Awards, But ‘Elden Ring’ Wins Game of The Year
While Sony’s God of War Ragnarok took home the majority of the awards last night, it was From Software and Bandai Namco who earned the big one with Elden Ring taking home the Game of The Year award at The Game Awards.
Of its 10 nominations, Ragnarok took home six awards for Best Narrative, Best Score and Music, Best Audio Design, Best Action/Adventure, Innovation in Accessibility and Best Performance. In addition to the Game of The Year, Elden Ring earned wins in Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction and Best RPG.
Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki accepted the award, thanking the developers and publisher From Software, as well as author George R.R. Martin for his work on the Elden Ring lore and backstory. And in tease for fans, Miyazaki stated that From Software “has more in store” for Elden Ring in the future.
Despite missing out on the Game of The Year award, Annapurna Interactive’s Stray won for Best Indie and Best Debut Game (beating out poncle’s Vampire Survivors). Asobo Studio’s A Plague Tale: Requiem was shut out of its five nominations, along with the other genre titles up for awards.
The timing was seemingly perfect for Elden Ring, having just had the first DLC released earlier this week with the Colosseum Update. Elden Ring is currently available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
