We are profoundly humbled and honored to announce that Hades II has secured the title of Best Action Game at The Game Awards! You can revisit our acceptance speech here. To our team, Hades II is more than just the culmination of five years of development; it is the synthesis of our studio’s enduring mission to craft fluid, high-octane, and reactive experiences that constantly surprise the player.
It was an equally significant privilege to be shortlisted for Best Independent Game, Best Score and Music, Best Art Direction, Best Game Direction, and the prestigious Game of the Year. Being recognized alongside such a diverse and visionary collection of titles was a reward in its own right.
We extend our deepest respect to all our fellow nominees and offer our warmest congratulations to Sandfall Interactive. Their exceptional work on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 earned them the night’s highest accolades, and we couldn’t be happier for their success.
Credit goes to our talented illustrator, Jeremy Anninos, for this “red carpet” tribute celebrating this year’s phenomenal nominees!
