Not surprisingly, Elden Ring received the highest award, because the game has received universal recognition around the world. Elden Ring has surpassed God of War Ragnarok in the 2022 Game of the Year rankings in a tally that tracks collections of all major titles. A few awards are yet to be added, but given the large gap in the number of awards awarded to both games, it’s unlikely that God of War Ragnarok will even the score, much less take the lead.
The pace of development of Elden Ring was not slow in coming, as, according to reports, the game will receive a number of DLCs, among which the Colosseum is only the first. Noted From Software game enthusiast Lance McDonald tweeted that Elden Ring’s recent Colosseum DLC update is the first in a series of planned additions to the game. He added that this add-on has an internal name of “DLC1”, and it was planned that this would be the first DLC even before the game was released.
