Elden Ring took the gaming world by storm and to no surprise so its expansion Shadow of the Erdtree. That being said – it’s not a game it’s an expansion and should NOT be nominated or win GOTY 2024.
ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree takes players beyond the Lands Between to explore the Land of Shadow, a completely new world from ELDEN RING. Players can seamlessly travel back and forth between its vast maps interspersed with diverse situations and meticulous dungeons where menacing enemies roam.

And how in the fighting category is Multiverse nominated again when it was already in fighting category last year while it was in beta? And won
So now that it full release it’s nominated again? How is this a thing?
Sounds like a skill issue
Damn the hate for PlayStation is strong @ Lono
DLCs should have their own category but at the same time. all prerequisites aside in order to start the DLC. Is it big enough to be considered a whole game in itself? I think yes and I think they deserve the credit for both the scale and quality of their DLC
The precedent was already set with Blood and Wine winning best RPG in 2016. They just clarified the rules last week.
Doesn’t mean it’s right though, there’s problems with the categories all over the place. I think the best thing to do is to draw a line under it this year, take on feedback and redefine some of the categories for future years.
Can you play the DLC without buying the basic game? If not, how come it can be GOTY? 😅
If it wins, the TGA will be forever compromised in my mind.
1% procent defeated , white light Radahn.
The worst part is that it Will win it, otherwise why would they go out of their way to do this stupidity? All just to not nominate Stellar Blade and Space Marine. And they will die before they give it to FF7 Rebirth or any game that was not on All platforms.
They definitely should add a new category.
Stellar Blade is my game of the year
That’s not how that works, you have to have enough votes to be nominated in the first place. DLCs were always eligible, Phantom Liberty just didn’t have enough votes to get it. Especially when that year, it had Resident Evil 4 Remake, Spider Man 2, Tears of the Kingdom, Alan Wake 2 and BAULDERS GATE 3. It never had a chance to be nominated. That simply isn’t a good comparison. 3:04
I still find it funny, that a dlc is better than most of the games released this year.
Am I the only person who doesn’t give a crap about game awards? Has zero impact on what games I play or enjoy. Just like I never gave a crap about the Oscars etc
I was like hell no ..Then Sony is buying I'm them Iike HELL YEAH its game of the year all the way! SONY WORLD LEADER!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAA
Can’t wait to celebrate when ER wins lmao
100% Agree.
I LOVE Elden Ring but Black Myth: Wukong is GOTY for me
I love From games and Elden Ring, but it should not be nominated for GOTY. One of the reasons I haven’t jumped onto the dlc is because i have to get my save file back to the right spot. It is not a standalone game at all.
New fav conspiracy theory: SotE is only nominated to give the biased game journo judges a big title to vote for besides Black Myth Wukong.
Nice thoughts there Lono
Personally I don’t have an issue with remakes being included especially if they’re top tier like RE4 and Silent Hill 2 since they’re essentially built from the ground up and are basically new games anyway.
SOTE being included is straight b.s IMO. Doesn’t matter how it scored or how great it is. It’s NOT a new game and is totally dependent on a base game. If it was a spin off or stand alone expansion I’d be fine with that, but its inclusion seems calculated and coordinated.
I think Silent Hill 2 and/or Stellar Blade should be up there. SOTE doesn’t deserve the spot, but it’s probably going to win anyway since fan votes count for very little.
DLC could always be nominated. That had never changed. Witcher 3 DLC won role-playing game of the year over dark souls 3. Karma's a bitch
Dlc shouldn't be in the running for goty .. that doesn't mean it isn't good.
I didn't play stellar blade but I think that game deserves to be nominated.
If DLC is going to be nominated no mans sky should be in the running to win goty every year with all the work and updates they've put into that game.
Elden ring already won game of the year. If they want to win again make a sequel.
It's like let's add deleted scenes to the Godfather and nominate it for Best Picture 2025
my GOTY. womp womp for u
IMO DLCs, Expansions and Remasters should be in their own category together, and Remakes should just be considered regular games assuming they're qualitatively different from the original game they're remastering in more ways than just a graphical improvement.
Guys stop crying over stupid shit it doesn’t matter its a game and Shadow of the Erdtree is bigger and better then any base games currently so get over it or get gud n play it
Didn't Horse Armour win thr 2006 GOTY awards?
If this expansion dlc was like inFamous: First Light or Miles Morales, the nomination would make more sense to me. But alas, we'll have to wait until next year to see if they realized how foolish this decision was.
cry about it
Every sane person agrees
Personally I haven't even played the DLC and I haven't played black myth wukong. I have played atleast 2 hours of the other games that were nominated. Although I personally think black myth wukong should win game of the year based on its stellar performance while coming from a tiny development studio with very few people. It doesn't look like it's going to win and because of that, I think Elden Rings DLC deserves to win based on its ratings, awards, and the fact that it was nominated even though it is a DLC. That says something very special about a game. Why? Because it's literally never happened. You can't say that it shouldn't win because it's a DLC because it was literally nominated. If it wasn't right they wouldn't have nominated it.
Erdtree is mid im sorry. Its not just that it's a dlc, the expansion is NOT as good as it is praised to be
It does and it should win.
Am I remembering incorrectly, I thought phantom liberty you did have to play a certain amount of the game to access the dlc?
Personally I think Erd tree and Phantom Liberty should have been launched as stand alones. Then this would be a non issue and more people would buy it.
I think saying its around the same length dlc to phantom liberty, then saying 30+ is similar to 50+ hours is bold. May be just semantics, but that caught me off guard.
I'm a huge souls player and I do not agree with a dlc being a game of the year. Shits crazy man. If anything they should make an award for best dlc or something like that. I love elden ring and shadow of the erdtree dlc but it doesn't deserve GOTY . 😊
