Elden Ring wins another award, this time Best Game Writing at The Nebulas

elden ring has won the Nebula Award for the Best Game Writing category, beating out other major contenders.

The Nebula Awards, an awards group that recognizes some of the best sci-fi and fantasy writing each year, took place earlier this week, and as every year since 2018, the Best Game Script category formed. part of this year’s schedule. It probably won’t surprise you to learn that Elden Ring took home the awardgiven that it won Game of the Year at both the Game Developers Choice Awards and The Game Awards.

There really wasn’t a huge array of big-name games up for the awards, with Elden Ring nominated among other titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Vampire: The Masquerade – Sins of the Sires, Pentiment, Stray, and Journeys through the Radiant Citadel. .

The Nebulae are distributed by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, a non-profit organization made up of science fiction and fantasy writers. George RR Martin, who helped in the story of Elden Ring in an incredibly ambiguous way, actually won an award from them before, in 1973 and 1979, making it the third win for him. So this could be a bit of a bigger deal for director Hidetaka Miyazaki, since it’s his first Nebulas win (thanks, PC Gamer).

Elden Ring joins Hades, The Outer Worlds, and Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (which it won in 2020, 2019, and 2018 respectively) as Best Game Writing Award winners. The category also nominates board games, as the TTRPG Thirsty Sword Lesbians won in 2021.

Earlier this year, FromSoftware announced that some DLC, titled Shadow of the Erdtree, is on the way, though we basically don’t know anything other than its name. All we know is that it’s in development, not even when it might come out, so you’ll have to suck it up for now.
