Game Rock star It is, arguably, the most anticipated in recent years. No wonder the GTA VI trailer spread without any difficulty last Tuesday (4), when it was released by the production company – sooner than expected, due to leaks of the final video.


However, when The Game Awards, an event considered the “Oscars of Gaming”, announced the nominees for each of its categories, GTA VI was not officially announced. Therefore, the game was not able to compete for awards, even though it is actually one of the games with huge “hype”.

It’s worth noting that yes, everyone knew GTA VI would eventually happen. However, the game has not received a trailer, release date, teaser or anything like that. Until the beginning of last December, what revolved around the Rockstar game were just rumors, nothing concrete. Therefore, if there were no official advertising criteria to compete in this category, then, in theory, GTA VI could have been present at the Game Awards since 2014.

The thing that reinforces this standard is the presence The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom Tears In the 2021 awards. The game competed without even revealing an official name, it was known only as “Sequel to Breath of the WildHowever, a teaser for the game has already been shown, making Tears of the Kingdom eligible to appear among the most anticipated games at that year’s awards.

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
  • Hades II
  • Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
  • Star Wars Outlaws
