The much-lauded Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took home another five awards, this time from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, including Game of the Year, during the 29th annual DICE Awards this week.

The Academy also awarded the title Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction, Outstanding Achievement in Story, Role-Playing Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction.

Other big winners during the evening event in Las Vegas included Ghost of Yotei, which was recognized for awards in Outstanding Achievement in Character, Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition, and as Adventure Game of the Year, highlighting its artistic vision and narrative depth.

“The games recognized at this year’s D.I.C.E. Awards showcase the extraordinary range of talent and creativity that define our industry,” said Meggan Scavio, President of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. “It’s inspiring to see how these developers continue to elevate interactive entertainment through innovation, storytelling, and meaningful player experiences.”

The winners were selected by the Academy’s global membership of more than 30,000 industry professionals.

The Academy also inducted Evan Wells, former president and co-founder of Naughty Dog, into the AIAS Hall of Fame in recognition of his decades-long contributions to game development and leadership. Throughout his career, Wells has played a pivotal role in shaping some of the industry’s most critically acclaimed and culturally impactful franchises, while championing creative excellence, mentorship, and the evolution of storytelling in games.
