I natt är det dags att ställa klockan, alternativt ge tusan i att gå och lägga sig. 01.30 drar nämligen årets upplaga av The Game Awards igång. Priser ska delas ut, spel ska avtäckas, Josef Fares-utspel ska göras. Jojomän, Josef "Fuck the Oscars" Fares har fått förtroendet att dela ut pris under galan.

Vi har samlat allt vi vet, vad vi tror och vad vi anar i en smidig inför-artikel. Mellan 30 och 40 spel kommer att visas upp, däribland Baldur's Gate 3, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor och Dead Space-remaken. Geoff Keighley siktar trots detta på en kortare, "mer strömlinjeformad", gala den här gången. Vi får väl se, galor har en tendens att spräcka schemat. 04:30 väntas vara i mål.

Nyheterna är ena delen av galan, den andra är troféerna som ska delas ut till spel (och branschrelaterat, som esport). På förhand har en duell utkristalliserat sig mellan giganterna Elden Ring och God of War Ragnarök. Nomineringsduellen har det senare redan vunnit, 10 mot 7, men det handlar som bekant också om att vinna mest – och tyngst.

FZ har som enda svenska media deltagit i juryarbetet och röstat fram de olika vinnarna.

Horizon Forbidden West (7), Stray (6) och A Plague Tale: Requiem (5) är andra titlar som är multi-nominerade. Till det allra tyngsta, årets spel, har vi sex kandidater. Ragnarök, Elden Ring, Requiem, Forbidden West och Stray är nämnda. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 har också chansen.

Samtliga priser och alla nominerade hittar du längst ner.
