![]() Here’s what E3 2023 could look like without Sony, Nintendo, and MicrosoftĮverything announced at The Game Awards 2022 Ubisoft will not attend E3 2023, but it will still host a summer live stream With E3 2023 gone, other gaming events need to step up Updated on 6-29-2017 by Gabe Gurwin: Added information on award winners. Sony received no wins, even though it had shown off a long list of games that included God of War and Days Gone - both took home awards in Digital Trends’ E3 awards. The Xbox One X received a hardware award, but Microsoft’s games were otherwise absent from the winners’ list, as well. Noticeable absences from all categories include games like C uphead, Anthem, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Kingdom Hearts 3, XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but all were disqualified for not having playable demos available to voting publications. Other wins at the Game Critics Awards included FIFA 18 for “best sports game,” Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom for “best role-playing game,” and Dragon Ball FighterZ for “best fighting game.” Arc System Works’ fighter surprised just about everyone with its crisp combat and authentic anime visuals, stealing much of the spotlight from Capcom’s Marvel vs. The Artful Escape ultimately took home the win. There, we saw Ashen, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Donut County, Laser League, and The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti all competing for the top spot. However, a few smaller games did make an appearance in the “best independent” category. ![]() It was the big games from the big developers and big publishers which made the most impact with game critics this year, it seems. Electronic Arts’ Star Wars Battlefront II also managed to take home the “best online multiplayer” award, beating out Call of Duty: WWII, Sea of Thieves, and Skull & Bones. ![]() Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus also received four nominations, winning for “best action game.” Destiny 2 managed to pick up the win for “best PC game,” even though its predecessor only released on consoles. Like Mario + Rabbids, Shadow of War was nominated for four awards, though it came home empty handed. We were impressed with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle during our first look at it, so we aren’t surprised that the game managed to make such an impression with voters. ![]()
