    Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Release Date 09/26/2024 This is how I know GOTY is bullshit. Game hasn’t even released and its nominated for GOTY.

      This is just Polygon’s guess of what they think will be nominated - pure crystal ball gazing.

      That said on previous years there has been a few weeks between ballots being due and the cut off for a games release date:

      Ballots were sent out to outlets on Oct. 29, due back on Nov. 6, […]. Outlets also had until Nov. 13 to send in updated versions of those ballots, if changes were necessary. […] To be eligible, the game must be released before Nov. 20 […]
