My final prediction for the 6 nominations for overall GOTY at The Game Awards before they announced some time later this month:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Astrobot
Metaphor
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Animal Well
Tekken 8

I think this will be the first time in 5 years a fighting game gets a nomination since Super Smash bros. Ultimate did with Tekken 8.
I could see Dragon's Dogma 2 or Wukong take Zelda's spot.
Unfortunately I don't see 2 remakes being nominated this year seeing how much The Game Awards prefer new games so Persona 3 Reloaded, Silent Hill 2, and Paper Mario The Thousand year Door will most likely not make it since Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will get it.
RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake won zero awards the years they got in.
I'm gonna lock in:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Dragon's Dogma 2
Metaphor
Silent Hill 2
Astrobot
Tekken 8

Tekken 8 wont get nominated, nor will BM:W (due to the voting population's political biases). There will be 5 nominees this year.

We should be getting nominees this week or next week.

Very much looking like Astro Bot, FF7 Rebirth, Metaphor, Like A Dragon, and Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. Outside chance Helldivers gets nominated. Dragon's Dogma 2 and Dragon Age are possibilities as well.

I'm guessing they'll announce the nominees on Thursday. Always a fun time to see what secured a nomination.

This year is so bad that it really is wide open. Astrobot? Balatro? Erdtree? Wukong? Some mobile thing I've never heard of? Ehh... throw in CoD too. All would be shocking in one way or another but between them I'd say they have majority odds. I guess Astrobot is the favorie among them.
