Capcom has swept the board at this year’s Golden Joysticks, scooping up seven awards including “Ultimate Game of the Year” for Resident Evil Requiem.
Requiem also won “Console Game of the Year” as well as “Best Game Trailer” award for its short film starring Maika Monroe. Angela Sant’Albano won “Best Lead Performer” for her performance as Grace Ashcroft, while Grace Saif was awarded “Best Supporting Performer” for playing Diana in Capcom’s Pragmata.
Capcom was crowned “Studio of the Year”, and its action-adventure sequel Onimusha: Way of the Sword won “Best Audio Design.”
There were no first-party Nintendo games among the winners, with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, despite its staggering success, launching too late to be eligible.
