Resident Evil Requiem Crowned ‘Ultimate Game Of The Year’ At The Golden Joysticks Awards

Resident Evil Requiem won the Golden Joystick Awards’ top honour, ‘Ultimate Game of the Year’, in a strong showing for Capcom. The results matter to the publisher because the awards are mostly decided by public vote, and Capcom also received the ‘Studio of the Year’ title.

Requiem took 17% of the vote, ahead of Phantom Blade Zero on 16% and Crimson Desert on 15%. It also won ‘Console Game of the Year’ and ‘Best Game Trailer’; Angela Sant’Albano was named ‘Best Lead Performer’ for playing Grace Ashcroft. Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword won ‘Best Audio Design’, while no first-party Nintendo games received awards; Ocarina of Time was ineligible because it launched too late.
