Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco was also the winner of Best Line-up, where it also showed new trailers for Tales Of Arise and The Dark Pictures: House Of Ashes.

While it is notable that Elden Ring and other winners were absent from the big showcases, including the Xbox Games Showcase and Opening Night Live, the rules for submission state that it is mandatory to provide a gameplay video of at least ten minutes “to demonstrate game mechanics, sounds, camera angles, and graphics representative of the game”.

This means that the jury, consisting of German and international games journalists and content creators, will have seen the nominated games even if no new gameplay has been shared with the public.

The full list of winners are as follows:

  • Best Action Adventure Game – Elden Ring
  • Best Action Game – Far Cry 6
  • Best Family Game – Super Dungeon Maker
  • Best Indie – Lost in Random
  • Best RPG – Elden Ring
