La notte tra il 10 e l’11 dicembre ci saranno i The Game Awards 2020 che, tra i vari premi, assegneranno anche quello del Game of the Year, il gioco dell’anno. L’anno scorso nella categoria ha trionfato Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice di From Software.
Quest’anno i The Game Awards andranno a premiare titoli che, in un modo o nell’altro, lasceranno un segno nella storia videoludica, visto che si tratta dell’anno che ha visto l’arrivo delle console di nuova generazione PlayStation 5 e XBOX Series X.
