The Academy of Arts and Interactive Sciences awards include Control and Death Stranding, forgetting RE 2 Remake and Sekiro as GOTY.
As in the film industry, the awards season continues and the best games of 2019 duel in another of the most important awards in the industry, the so-called DICE Awards 2020. This recognition has been awarded since 1998 by the Academy of Arts and Interactive Sciences, an international institution that has chosen on February 13 as the date on which it will announce which winners are taken statuette. Last year he crowned God of War with up to eight different mentions, something this time only Control and Death Stranding can aspire to, the only games that reach eight nominations.
After the works of Remedy and Kojima Productions, the titles that appear most often in the list are Disco Elysium and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, with six nominations each; Outer Wilds and Untitled Goose Game, with four; and A Short Hike, Mortal Kombat 11, Sayonara Wild Hearts and Resident Evil 2 Remake, with three per head. The great absentee is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which although it is a candidate for best action game of the year does not appear in the queen category, and that after having been proclaimed GOTY 2019 in The Game Awards and Steam Awards. We will see who are finally chosen from the following list, which has more than 65 games and certifies the fantastic 2019 that we have enjoyed.
