Winners of the 25th Annual DICE Awards have been announced by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, with Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two dominating the show. Ratchet’s first PlayStation 5 outing took home the most number of awards, winning four of the eight categories that it was nominated under. Meanwhile, co-op adventure It Takes Two won yet another Game-of-the-Year trophy. It was a good night for publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment in general as it also picked up two awards for Housemarque’s PS5 game Returnal. Kena: Bridge of Spirits was nominated in numerous categories, but unfortunately, didn’t win any of them.DICE Awards 2022 winners listFull list of nominees and winners (highlighted) is as follows:Game of the YearDeathloopInscryptionIt Takes TwoRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartReturnalOutstanding Achievement in AnimationCall of Duty: VanguardDeathloopKena: Bridge of SpiritsRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartResident Evil VillageOutstanding Achievement in Art DirectionCall of Duty: VanguardDeathloopKena: Bridge of SpiritsRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartResident Evil VillageOutstanding Achievement in CharacterDeathloop – Colt VahnKena: Bridge of Spirits – KenaLife is Strange: True Colors – Alex ChenRatchet & Clank: Rift Apart – RivetResident Evil Village – Lady DimitrescuOutstanding Achievement in Original Music CompositionDeathloopIt Takes TwoKena: Bridge of SpiritsPsychonauts 2Returnal Outstanding Achievement in Audio DesignForza Horizon 5Halo InfiniteIt Takes TwoRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartReturnal Outstanding Achievement in StoryBefore Your EyesInscryptionGuardians of the GalaxyPsychonauts 2The Forgotten CityOutstanding Technical AchievementBattlefield 2042Forza Horizon 5MoncageRatchet & Clank: Rift Apart ReturnalAction Game of the YearDeathloopHalo InfiniteMetroid DreadReturnalThe AscentAdventure Game of the YearDeath’s DoorIt Takes TwoGuardians of the Galaxy Psychonauts 2Resident Evil VillageFamily Game of the YearAnimal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home ParadiseCozy GroveMario Party SuperstarsRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartWarioware: Get it TogetherFighting Game of the YearGuilty Gear StriveMelty Blood: Type LuminaNickelodeon All-Star BrawlRacing Game of the YearF1 2021Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels UnleashedRole-Playing Game of the YearFinal Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Pathfinder: Wrath of the RighteousShin Megami Tensei VTales of AriseWildermythSports Game of the YearFIFA 22Mario Golf: Super Rush NBA 2k22Riders RepublicThe Climb 2Strategy/Simulation Game of the YearAge of Empires IVGloomhavenGriftlandsInscryptionLoop HeroImmersive Reality Technical AchievementLone Echo IIPuzzling PlacesResident Evil 4 VRSong in the SmokeYukiImmersive Reality Game of the YearDemeoI Expect You To Die 2Lone Echo II Resident Evil 4 VRSong in the SmokeOutstanding Achievement for an Independent GameDeath’s DoorInscryptionLoop HeroSableUnpacking Mobile Game of the YearBehind the FrameFantasianLeague of Legends: Wild RiftMoncagePokémon Unite Online Game of the YearBack 4 BloodCall of Duty: VanguardFinal Fantasy XIV: EndwalkerHalo InfiniteKnockout CityOutstanding Achievement in Game DesignDeathloopInscryptionIt Takes Two Loop HeroRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartOutstanding Achievement in Game DirectionDeathloop InscryptionIt Takes TwoRatchet & Clank: Rift ApartThe Artful EscapeIn other news, Horizon Forbidden West’s PS5 version proved to be more popular in the UK despite a higher price tag, and PlayStation has been listed among top ten brands in the U.S.
