Key Takeaways
- The Game Awards have opened voting in the Voice of the Gamer category.
- Among the nominees are Sonic X Shadow Generations and Genshin Impact.
- This reminds everyone of the rivalry between these two fanbases in 2022 when Sonic Frontiers almost won the award.
The Game Awards are here again, which can only mean one thing: we're in for a bad run in the Voice Actor category. This is the only 100 percent fan category, so candidates are not pre-judged. Of course, this lends itself well to online fandom battles, as everyone races to get their favorite game to the top spot.
In 2022, this led to a bitter battle between Sonic Frontiers and Genshin Impact. Sonic fans were already feeling slighted by the lack of Frontiers in other major categories and saw Player Voices as an opportunity to make up for it. However, the Blue Blur was no match for Genshin, and still managed to win, though not after being accused of corruption.

Keighley doesn't pick the winners, he decides what The Game Awards mean.
Now, it's been two years, and not much has changed since 2022. Once again, Elden Ring is up for Game of the Year, and once again, the popular Sonic game failed to receive a nomination. the main category. Therefore, Sonic fans are turning to the category to try and make sure that Sonic X Shadow Generations brings at least one award – even if it means fighting against old competitors.
Sonic X Shadow Generations takes on Genshin Impact for the game award
…and, yes, a few other games too
When the game presented by Voice of the Gamers was announced yesterday, fans began to act quickly, increasing their personal preferences. So far we see a lot of people in the answers supporting Sonic X Shadow Generations, which is not surprising, because it was well received when it launched in October.
But of course it immediately brings back memories of the Sonic vs. Genshin in 2022. I hope Sonic fans will be a little better this year if Sonic X Shadow Generations doesn't make the decision, especially since there is some really tough competition. this year.
There are other notable choices that didn't receive many nominations in other categories. With Stellar Blade, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Persona 3 Reload, and more, there are plenty of games with huge and passionate fans that are contenders in this race. We will have to wait and see who will take home the award as the voting continues.
