Here are your candidates for the KeighleysIt's that time of year again. The snow is starting to fall, as fall turns to winter, and The Game Awards are just around the corner. Today, The Game Awards revealed its 2022 nominees.
The awards ceremony itself (https://thegameawards.com/) will take place on December 8 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, CA. There will be industry members and a ticket-purchasing audience (https://www.destructoid.com/the-game-awards-2022-tickets-geoff-keighley-tga-geoff-keighley/) in attendance, for a night of trophies and world premieres.
This year's nominees are led by God of War Ragnarok with 10 total nominations, followed by Elden Ring at 7. It's not all titans though, as some indie projects got some nods too. Immortality and Neon White both picked up three nominations apiece.
Debut Indie Game and Games For Impact have some solid entries too, like Vampire Survivors and Citizen Sleeper. A certain gaming content creator was also recognized, as recently-retired news aggregator (https://kotaku.com/nibel-nibellion-twitter-patreon-elon-musk-gaming-news-1849722335) Nibellion (a.k.a. Nibel) got a nomination for Content Creator of the Year.
