Elden Ring's lore and by extension, its ending and final boss, is a confusing buffet of hidden plot points. The Nerd Stash is here to set things straight.
Elden Ring was initially positioned as one of several big third-party games headed to the Switch 2, but following a Gamescom 2025 demo that showcased several technical issues in From Software's open-world action-RPG--particularly in handheld mode--publisher Bandai Namco delayed its release. After several months of 'performance adjustment," the game has re-emerged at GDC 2026, and so far, it looks to be in a much better shape.
With the 2025 Wccftech Awards GOTY, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 surpassed Elden Ring as the most awarded game of all time.
Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has overtaken FromSoftware's Elden Ring as the most awarded Game of the Year of all time.
Awesome! Well deserved for this masterpiece and easily the best game of last year in my opinion. Also the soundtrack is beyond incredible and I find myself listening to it often ever since playing the game.
It definitely had my vote for best game. What a moving story and wonderful voice cast. Seriously a joy to have been able to enjoy this game.
Turns out that making a game with love and just making it great is all you need. Especially implementing some of gamings greatest mechanics that were once loved but forgotten. Sandfall deserves it.
Yeah but even the worst CoD or FIFA game still make heaps and bounds more money than this ever will. Investors don't care about awards, they care about monetary returns.
By being reasonable with boss damage/defense, some games are ridiculous ask Team Ninja, I never truly got to enjoy my experiences with their games…
