Even though I previously said I don’t think this game has a chance against Zelda, I was not expecting the reception to BG3 to take off like it has. Lots of people are loving what this game offers and it has really been catapulted into the realm of a gaming cultural phenomenon, just like Zelda.

So maybe it will win. It is a dark horse candidate with an outside chance, but I’d no longer say no chance at all.

I don’t think Diablo 4 or FF16 are a threat. They didn’t have the cultural phenomenon feeling of Zelda or BG3. Starfield is an unknown element. I don’t have very high hopes for it, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
