The VR Awards announced the finalists for the upcoming 2022 ceremony, which includes titles like Resident Evil 4, Moss: Book II and Zenith: The Lost City nominated for VR Game of the Year.

The nominations opened in April, with release eligibility set between July 2021 and August 2022 for all categories. This year will mark the first in-person show since the start of the pandemic, with a return to London for the ceremony on November 3.

Last year, Demeo took home the coveted VR Game of the Year award, alongside the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition taking home VR Hardware of the Year.

The nominations for this year’s VR Game of the Year are:

Vail VR
The Tale of Onogoro
Cities: VR
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Last Call
Resident Evil 4
Wanderer
Finger Gun
Garden of the Sea
Moss: Book II
Zenith: The Last City
Lone Echo II
I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy And The Liar
After The Fall

Likewise, the nominations for VR Hardware of the Year:

Maestro DK3
Emerge Wave-1
Pico Neo 3 Link
Varjo Aero
Vive Flow
XTAL 3 Mixed Reality

Those are just two categories out of twelve total. It’s nice to see Lost Recipes nominated in the VR Experience of the Year category, an acknowledgement of how it occupies a space between game and educational experience. It’s also great to see Anotherway, the studio behind Unplugged, nominated in the Rising VR Company of the Year category.
