Update (02/24/2023) – GS
The new games of 2023 are already coming and many are having fun with the adventures of Forspoken, Hi-Fi Rush, Hogwarts Legacy and among others, however, some games of 2022 are still being decorated in awards.
This week saw the new edition of the DICE Awards (Design Innovate Communicate Entertain), which honored some of the biggest releases of last year. Given that God of War: Ragnarok and Elden Ring were among the top contenders, it’s not surprising that they were awarded the most.

God of War: Ragnarok leads DICE Awards nominations, surpasses Elden Ring and Horizon
Elden Ring has become the game with the most Game of the Year awards in history, yet let’s not forget the other fantastic releases that followed last year, including God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West.
This week, DICE (Design Innovate Communicate Entertain) Awards released the list of nominees for this year’s award, which takes place on February 23, and the new adventure of Kratos and Atreus ended up winning over the other competitors.

So far, nominations for most video game awards have been led by Elden Ring, followed by God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West, but the DICE Awards are doing things the other way around – God of War Ragnarok has landed 12 nominations, followed by 8 for Horizon Forbidden West and 7 for Elden Ring. Several other titles, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Tunic, Immortality, and Vampire Survivors managed 4 nominations.
The DICE Awards, which are organized by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, are different from other video game awards in that they reflect what the gaming industry, rather than critics or fans, think the best games of the year are. It is worth remembering that the 2018 God of War bragged the 2019 DICE Awards.
