Mod of the Year

We're back again for our 21st annual event with the 2022 Mod of the Year Awards. As we do every year, now's the time to look back and give talented mod makers the gratitude they deserve for their creativity throughout 2022.

Last year, the expansive The Chronicles of Myrtana took first place. Second place went to the mod-of-a-mod Black Mesa: Blue Shift, with the bombastic Command And Conquer : Generals Evolution taking the third spot. If you want a look at how the rest of the placing went in 2021, check out the rest of player's choice for released and upcoming, as well as the editor's picks for 2021.

Is MODDB aware that The Dark Mod has been a standalone game for several years now? I always found it odd that it's being on the Doom3 mod page and exposed as a Doom3 mod while it isn't.

Yep, but it started work as a total conversion for DOOM 3 (which is why it's still hosted as such), or at least the page on-site was setup as one. There's examples of standalone total conversions besides this onsite, like STALKER Anomaly and Total Chaos for example - these all started as mods for their original title and then transitioned into being standalone. It's up to the creators of these mods to request a transfer for their page - we won't take a judgement out ourselves considering how these projects usually begin.
