Baldur's Gate 3 has taken home the Game of the Year award at the 27th annual DICE Awards, securing one final trophy for Larian's astounding 2023 release. In addition, the game managed to secure Best RPG, as well as the Outstanding Achievement in Story award.
The DICE Awards, hosted at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, was the latest edition of an event that acts as the last major awards show for the previous year, and is held in high regard among game developers. It presented a variety of important awards to last year's biggest games, including awards for genre champions and excellence in specific fields (game design, music composition, etc).
Baldur's Gate 3 took home a whopping five awards in total, including Game of the Year, but it actually wasn't the game that won the most accolades. That title goes to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which managed to overcome its disappointing performance at The Game Awards back in December and web up six DICE awards. A nice payoff for a game that had previously secured much praise from critics and the public, but not from the big awards shows.
