Game journalist and presenter Geoff Keighley announced on his official X (formerly known as Twitter) account that all the nominees for The Game Awards 2023 will become known on November 13. This year has an exceptional number of games that received overwhelmingly good press scores, so picking just six candidates for the title of the Game of the Year will be difficult. Two fighting games have a chance to be recognized in this category: Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. Some other favorites include The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4 (2023), Final Fantasy XVI, Baldur’s Gate 3, Armored Core VI, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Hi-Fi Rush, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and many others.
