Πιστή στο ραντεβού της, η Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) πραγματοποίησε την τελετή απονομής των 23ωνDICE Awards 2020 στο Aria Resort & Casino του Λας Βέγκας. Τα μεγάλα φαβορί ήταν τα Death Stranding και Control που ήταν μπροστά στην κούρσα με οκτώ υποψηφιότητες το καθένα.
Εν τέλει, ο μεγάλος νικητής είναι το παιχνίδι που οι περισσότεροι μάλλον θεωρούσαν ως ‘αουτσάιντερ’. Συγκεκριμένα, το Game of the Year βραβείο κατακτήθηκε από το Untitled Goose Game. Πρόκειται για τον ιδιαίτερο τίτλο από την ομάδα ανάπτυξης House House από την Αυστραλία. Όσον αφορά τα Death Stranding και Control, ο τίτλος του Hideo Kojima έλαβε τελικά μόλις δύο βραβεία (technical achievement και audio design), ενώ η Remedy θα επιστρέψει στη Φιλανδία με τέσσερα αγαλματίδια στα χέρια της (game direction, action game of the year, music composition και art direction).
Παρακάτω ακολουθεί αναλυτικά η λίστα με όλους τους νικητές και τις υποψηφιότητες.
