Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Wins Big at the DICE Awards

The Glorious Win!

Brace yourselves, gamers! Last night, the 29th annual DICE Awards shook the gaming world, and guess who took home the crown for Game of the Year? That’s right, it’s none other than Sandfall Interactive with their spectacular creation, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Talk about shaking things up! This is the kind of celebration that makes you want to throw confetti all over your gaming setup.

A Trophy-Laden Night

Clair Obscur didn’t just settle for the top honor, oh no! They swept the leg and collected a whopping four additional awards, including titles for Role-Playing Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction, Outstanding Achievement in Story, and Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction. It was a magical night filled with love for this epic RPG.

To put it into perspective, that’s like winning the gaming Oscars, but instead of a boring golden statue, you’re waving around trophies that shout “I’m the best!” It’s already being called the most feted game of 2025. And honestly, who could argue with that?

Now, I bet you’re wondering about the other contenders. Well, Ghost of Yotei also had its moment in the spotlight, snagging three awards for its character and music, while the legendary Death Stranding 2 cleaned up in audio and technical categories. Basically, it was like watching a high-stakes championship fight but with more pixels and fewer punches.

And let’s not forget the heartfelt tribute to Vince Zampella, an absolute legend, during the ceremony. His legacy lives on, reminding us of the giant leaps the gaming industry has taken.

So, raise your controllers high, friends! Let’s toast to Sandfall Interactive’s triumph and keep our eyes peeled for what’s next. With the Game Developers Choice Awards on the horizon, it looks like the award-winning fun is just getting started!
