This is the unimaginable outcome of the world's most fervently followed game.
Another year is about to end, and The Game Awards - one of the most renowned gaming awards ceremonies - has officially returned. This year, the nominations for the awards have become much more diverse, and Genshin Impact is also a potential contender. Last year, the game excelled in winning the Players' Voice category with overwhelming community votes. However, this year, the same scenario did not repeat as players had hoped.

For those unfamiliar, Player’s Voice is the most special category at The Game Awards, entirely voted on by players, where games with larger and stronger communities have more opportunities to rise. Last year, Genshin Impact surpassed formidable rivals like Sonic Frontiers, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarök, Stray... This year, the nominations for Player’s Voice have been much more lenient, but miHoYo's darling is facing disappointingly poor results.

It's known that Player’s Voice 2023 will consist of 3 separate rounds. In the first round, gamers need to vote for the top 10 outstanding games out of a total of 30 nominated games. The second round will select the top 5, and the final round will determine the winning title. Currently, this event is reaching the final stage of Round 1 - with just over 1 day left for players to vote. Based on the information gathered, it's highly likely that Genshin won't make it to the next round in this season.

Although authenticity cannot be confirmed, if true, this will surely be a disappointing result. Perhaps, introducing a new major update in 2023 still isn't enough for miHoYo to help Genshin Impact make a comeback in this prestigious race.
