Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Blue Prince, Split Fiction and several other popular games are also nominated for the title.
Famous streamer and former professional CS:GO player Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek, just a week after the release of ARC Raiders, is actively campaigning for the extraction shooter from Embark Studios to receive the "Game of the Year" award at The Game Awards 2025.
We need to make sure this one takes the title of "Game of the Year". Under no circumstances should you let that Expedition win. Absolutely not. We, the fans of multiplayer games, are in the minority, but I believe we can win. I've never voted for anything, but this year, I think I'll vote for this game.
By "that Expedition", the esports athlete means Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive studio.
