So if Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't in any of the award lists then I guess it released too late to be counted. However, it's not in the 'Most Wanted' list either.

Is it not being counted for anything because it's not that good or is this a mistake?

Every time Devolver gets on a stage for the past half decade I've readied myself to finally see a good amount of Serious Sam 4. I will be getting my hopes up again as usual.

On one hand, any site that includes a Yakuza game on a narrative gets my attention and respect.

On the other hand, Astrobot missing from VR! It's released missed the deadline?

New Warner game will be whatever Netherealm is working on?

They seem to be good at getting games out every couple of years.

It looks like Sept was the last month included since CoD WWII is there and not BO4

Only *one* eSports award???

Clearly they're missing at least 15 more eSports categories!

Best esports coach.
