As the end of the year rapidly approaches, that of course means we’re entering award season. Of course we have upcoming events such as the Game Awards, and of course the Golden Joystick Awards.
The Golden Joystick is voted by players over 21 categories, and Expedition 33 rightfully finds itself dominating some other very strong entrants in nominations. Of course, we will have to wait and see who wins. You can cast your vote here.
Overall Expedition 33 is nominated for six categories, including best storytelling and best soundtrack, and we also have individual nominations for Jennifer English as Maelle and Ben Sarr as Verso. For those of you wondering about the game of the year award, the nominations for the so-called ultimate game of the year award have yet to be revealed for this, but I may start a one person riot if Expedition 33 is not nominated for this.
