Rise, tarnished, and come get your trophy — Elden Ring is the Japan Game Awards’ game of the year.
FromSoftware’s brutal RPG was bestowed the Grand Award by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry at a ceremony held toward the end of the first press day of the Tokyo Game Show. Elden Ring director and FromSoftware President Hidetaka Miyazaki accepted as part of a scaled-down ceremony.
“Elden Ring is a completely different worldview (for us),” Miyazaki said. “We’ve been supported so heavily by all our players. I would really like to express my appreciation to everyone who follows us.”
