The Silksong devs believe Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will take the GOTY award home
, by Thibaut
This week, Ari Gibson and William Pellen from Team Cherry gave a lengthy interview to Bloomberg. They discussed several topics related to Hollow Knight: Silksong, including its nomination for The Game Awards 2025.
The developers said they might not attend the ceremony as they are "pretty busy." As for the possibility of recording an audio message to accept the “Game of the Year” award, neither man is considering doing so. Both Gibson and Pellen believe that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will win because, unlike Silksong, it seems to be universally acclaimed.
"This year, I think we're in the clear. I think Expedition 33 is exceptional and generally well received. Whereas we're on a knife edge, because some people like it (Silksong) and others hate it.""
Remember that for the Game Awards, the jury's votes count for 90% of the total and the public's votes for 10%.
