On GameFAQs it is likely to be Resident Evil 2 vs. Three Houses. If KH3 can't beat RE2 in the honeymoon period I doubt it will beat it now, and even discounting the fairly overblown controversy the response has been more muted than for previous gens. On the other hand people lost their minds for Fire Emblem and it was a mainstream hit.

Elsewhere RE2 is a logical frontrunner, though with Control winning Critics' Choice at the Golden Joysticks that may surprise. I expect the nominees for TGAs to look something like this:

Resident Evil 2
Apex Legends
Sekiro
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Control

And maybe Super Smash Bros. Ultimate if people remember it is eligible. DMC5, Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium are all potential wildcards as well.

If Smash gets any big publication's GotY award I'm never taking that publication seriously again. Either do your GOTY at the end of the year or don't do it

Outer Worlds should be the winner. RE2 is a remake

It's just not viable sometimes, people have to go on holiday, if a game comes out in late December of course it can't be counted. Also there is an onus on publishers to get games to outlets early so they can be included. With that said the TGA cutoff has been unusually early sometines though, it is like mid-November for panellists to have the game.
