Resident Evil Requiem ties with Meccha Chameleon as the biggest winner at the Golden Joystick Awards
Resident Evil Requiem and Meccha Chameleon shared the biggest haul at the Golden Joystick Awards, despite their very different scales and origins. Requiem won the ceremony’s top prize, Ultimate Game of the Year, while the success of a two-person indie game showed how a small team can compete for major recognition.
Requiem also took Best Game Trailer, Best Lead Performer for Angela Sant’Albano, and Console Game of the Year; Capcom was named Studio of the Year. Meccha Chameleon won Best Multiplayer Game, Best Indie Game – Self-Published, Streamers’ Choice and Developers’ Choice. The hide-and-seek game, made by two developers in a few months, won four awards.
In short
- Resident Evil Requiem won Ultimate Game of the Year.
- Meccha Chameleon also won four awards.
- Capcom took Studio of the Year.
Explained simply
The Golden Joystick Awards are an annual video game awards event, with prizes chosen by a mix of public voting and industry judges. Categories recognise games, performers, studios and other parts of game development.
Resident Evil Requiem is a large-budget horror game from Japanese publisher and developer Capcom. Meccha Chameleon is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game made by a two-person independent team, meaning it was produced outside a major publisher. The awards recognised work from both a major studio and a small team.
