The nominations for The Game Awards 2021 were recently announced with a heap of categories covering the many corners of gaming. While most categories praise existing games for their towering achievements, no gaming event would be complete without encouraging an absurd amount of hype. The “Most Anticipated Game” category for the 2021 Game Awards includes five exciting games that the overall gaming community is looking forward to for 2022, including the Breath of the Wild sequel. While the original Breath of the Wild is no stranger to the Game Awards, having won three awards including 2017’s Game of the Year and being nominated for several others, the sequel’s competition is nothing to sneeze at.
The Breath of the Wild sequel stands alongside God of War Ragnarök, the sequel to 2018’s Game of the Year winner God of War, as well as Bethesda and From Software’s highly anticipated new IPs Starfield and Elden Ring, not to mention Horizon Forbidden West, a sequel to the popular open-world game: Horizon Zero Dawn. With both Elden Ring and Starfield fresh in the minds of many thanks to the former having recently completed a successful network test and Starfield having made a brief appearance during the 10th-anniversary celebration for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Breath of the Wild sequel is in for a tough competition.
If you’d like to throw your hat in the ring for the Breath of the Wild sequel, or one of the other nominees, you can do so at the official website for the Game Awards, where you can not only vote for the “Most Anticipated Game,” but also many other categories across gaming.
