Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Nominated for 2023 Game of the Year Award
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been making waves in the gaming world, with a recent win as the Nintendo Switch 2023 Game of the Year. The game is now in the running for the Overall 2023 Game of the Year award at Destructoid.
This isn’t the first time a Nintendo-published game has taken home the Game of the Year title. In fact, in the history of Destructoid’s Game of the Year awards, four Nintendo-published games have won, including Super Mario Galaxy 2, Bayonetta 2, Breath of the Wild, and now, Tears of the Kingdom.
Sony has also been a long-term winner with titles like Uncharted 2, The Last of Us, and God of War. Valve has made its mark with games like Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead, and Chicory: A Colorful Tale has been recognized as a standout winner.
As we look forward to the future of gaming, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year. With the industry experiencing layoffs and the end of E3 as we know it, the gaming landscape is evolving. However, there is hope on the horizon, with a number of previously delayed games set to release in 2024.
The upcoming year is also expected to bring a lineup of highly anticipated titles, including Dragon’s Dogma 2, Alone in the Dark, Princess Peach: Showtime, Rise of the Ronin, and Homeworld 3.
While we await the results of the 2023 Game of the Year award, let’s take a moment to reflect on some of Destructoid’s previous winners and look forward to what the future holds for the gaming industry.
