Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok win big at 2023 DICE Awards
destructoid.comThe curtain has fallen on the 2023 DICE Awards. And if you were paying attention to all the end-of-year awards as they’ve rolled out, the outcome may not be too surprising.
The awards, hosted by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, had its membership base of over 30,000 industry members vote on the various categories. Elden Ring walked away with five of them, while God of War Ragnarok snatched seven.
It wasn’t just their night, though. Other hits from 2022, including Tunic and Vampire Survivors, got some recognition. And Double Fine Productions’ Tim Schafer was recognized for his contributions to the industry with the Hall of Fame award. If you want to learn more about that, I can’t recommend the recently released PsychOdyssey documentary about the making of Psychonauts 2 enough.
Still, it looks like Elden Ring and Ragnarok remain the two big titans of 2022, warring it out for the annual awards. We still have the annual Game Developers Choice Awards ahead of us, as part of GDC, to see if some other games can bring home some hardware.
