Game Developers Conference GDC

A premiação anual da GDC Awards ocorrerá em março e hoje tivemos o anúncio dos indicados. Na categoria de melhor jogo do ano concorrem Death Stranding, Control, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Untitled Goose Game e Outer Wilds.

Death Stranding é o jogo com mais indicações (sete), seguido por Control e Outer Wilds com cinco indicações cada. Qualquer jogo lançado em 2019 pode concorrer à premiação.

Além dos jogos, dois indíviduos serão reconhecidos com os prêmios de pioneiro e embaixador. Kate Edwards, ex-chefe da International Game Developers Association e atual diretora da Global Game Jam, receberá o prêmio de embaixadora, enquanto que o de pioneiro será anunciado mais tarde. No ano passado, Amy Hennig recebeu o prêmio de “Lifetime Achievement”, enquanto que Rieko Kodama ficou com o de pioneiro.
