The Game Awards stand out as a thrilling night for gamers each year, eagerly awaiting nominations to see if our predictions align with those of the judges. To our surprise, Starfield received minimal recognition, securing only one nomination, and notably missing out on Game of the Year (GOTY). It's undeniable that the game possesses numerous merits. However, it has faced challenges, with flawed updates that worsen the gaming experience and a lukewarm reception from players.
Compounding the situation is the release of games like Baldur’s Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Alan Wake II. This influx of noteworthy titles contributes to Starfield's noticeable decline, a surprising development considering the game was one of the most anticipated of 2023.
The swift descent from high expectations must be disheartening for the developers, especially coupled with the revelation that Starfield has fewer players than the 12-year-old Skyrim. The ease with which an older game can outperform a newcomer is remarkable, signaling a challenging year for Bethesda, with the distant release of Elder Scrolls VI adding to the uphill battle.
However, The Game Awards 2023 shouldn't be a night for lamentation, at least not until we witness our favorite games missing out on top honors. It's also a night of revelations, trailers, and major announcements. Although GTA VI has confirmed no trailer until December, the potential for other exciting reveals on the grand stage remains unknown. To witness all the excitement, drama, and perhaps even the Starfield developers regaining their composure, tune in to The Game Awards 2023 on December 8th.
