Horizon and Elden Ring are just behind Ragnarok in nominationsThe nominees for the 26th annual DICE Awards are out, honoring everything the industry had to offer over the last year. From God of War Ragnarok to Elden Ring, there's some stiff competition for the top spot.
The DICE Awards, put on by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, will be held on Thursday, Feb. 23 as the end of week-long 2023 D.I.C.E. Summit. Academy members will be able to start voting today, Jan. 12, on which games will receive the big awards.
What's up for grabs (https://www.interactive.org/awards/26th_dice_awards_finalists.asp) at the DICE Awards? Categories include outstanding achievement in animation, art direction, story, audio design, and more. And there is of course, the top spot: Game of the Year.
The top contenders may not be a surprise, if you've been following the Game of the Year (https://www.destructoid.com/destructoids-award-for-best-overall-game-of-2022-goes-to/) discussions, awards, and deliberations from 2022. God of War Ragnarok leads the nominees by placing in 12 categories, with Horizon Forbidden West at 8 nominations and Elden Ring coming in at 7 nominations. Dig a bit further down, though, and you'll find some other outstanding hits like Immortality, Tunic, and Vampire Survivors.
