Interestingly, if that window turns out to be true, then the game might not be too far away from another Take-Two published game, GTA 6.

After going over all the nominees, you can see why The Game Awards last as long as they do - especially when you factor in the musical acts and trailers. If you haven’t been counting, Astro Bot and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth lead on nominations with seven each. Then you’ve got Metaphor: ReFantazio with six, and so on.As for who the big winners might be, FF7 Rebirth and Helldivers 2 won big atthis year’s Golden Joysticks, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same here. Mind you, Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is running in more categories here, so that’ll likely influence how it all plays out. As ever, we need only wait and see. Phew!
