The 28th D.I.C.E. awards have come and gone, with Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle grabbing three wins. The (mostly) first-person Nazi-bashing adventure snagged Adventure Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Story, and Outstanding Achievement in Character.
The biggest winner of the night was PlayStation Studios' Astro Bot though, which grabbed five wins from the six categories it was nominated in, including Game of the Year. It's a repeat for the little bot, which also won Game of the Year at the Game Awards 2024.
Online juggernaut Helldivers 2 also won big, grabbing four wins including Action Game of the Year.
