Video game awards are getting bigger and even celebrities are involved in it as well. This industry insanely getting bigger and stronger with more game developers on board.
Last night 2021’s one of the biggest award nights took place where world-class game developers, publishers, and Esport players.
Even though pandemics surely somehow slow down the production of gaming, but developers did manage to release some insane games. The indie title also grabbed the best game award and no doubt it deserved it.
Guardians of the Galaxy game also grabbed one award and secured their spot on the winner’s list. Although one category winner was a shocking ongoing online game, people expected Call of Duty Warzone something but no.
The night for gamers out there – surprising winners
The night was awesome with the power-packed Imagine Dragons performance and some major titles announcements too. It was expected that new titles will be seen, from Star Wars to Star Trek and the entry of another DC game Wonder Woman also created hype. Classic Alan Wake gets their sequel coming year too.
People thought just like last year The Last of Us Part II won the game of the year award, this time again big publishers might take the lead. But nothing happened like that. Although in other awards like Golden Joystick Awards things were different and it was a whole new story back then.
Resident Evil Village was dominating and it looked like that’s going to happen the same.
