We are very grateful and honored to have earned the award for Best Action Game for Hades II at The Game Awards! Watch our acceptance moment here. Hades II is not just the culmination of nearly five years of development, but of our studio's entire history aiming to craft fast, responsive, reactive games filled with interesting and surprising moments.
Likewise, what an honor it was to be in contention for Best Independent Game, Best Score and Music, Best Artistic Direction, Best Game Direction, and even Game of the Year... especially since we were in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games.
We salute all our fellow nominees (most of which are available here on Steam!), and congratulate Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for earning that highest honor and many more.
Credit to our illustrator Jeremy Anninos for the red carpet tribute to all the nominees!
