Durante il corso dell’anno, numerose cerimonie di Awards premiano i videogiochi preferiti dal pubblico e dalla critica. I Game Developers Choice Awards hanno però un’importanza particolare all’interno del circuito: nomination e vincitori sono infatti decretati dagli sviluppatori stessi.
In questa 20esima edizione dei GDC Awards sembra che molti addetti ai lavori si siano trovati concordi nel reputare Death Stranding un titolo degno di nota… visto che è nominato per ben 7 diversi premi, ma anche Control e Outer Wilds se la cavano alla grande.
La cerimonia si terrà il 19 marzo alle 3.30 di mattina italiane, mentre la Game Developer Conference avrà luogo a San Francisco dal 16 al 20 marzo. Di seguito trovate tutte le nomination:
