Translation: “Blue Prince! Game of the year, baby, hands down! All the other games, I’m so sorry but it’s Blue Prince, all day, every day!”
Erika Ishii’s energetic declaration mirrored sentiments from other creators in the industry, like Tonda Ros, who commented on the ongoing mysteries within Blue Prince, stating there are still things unexplored in the game even months post-launch.
This year’s Golden Joystick Awards highlighted Ghost of Yotei’s accolades, which include nominations for Best Performance for Ishii, but it was clear to Ishii where their loyalty lay.
