Sony Santa Monica’s God of War wins “Game of the Year” at 2019 DICE Awards
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences announced the winners of the 2019 DICE Awards last night… and Sony Santa Monica’s God of War almost had a clean sweep.
The action-adventure game was competing in an astounding 11 categories, but even more astounding is that it claimed victory in nine of them, including “Game of the Year” and “Adventure Game of the Year.” God of War also picked up “Outstanding Achievements” in “Game Design,” “Game Direction,” “Original Music Composition” “Sound Design,” “Story,” and “Art Direction,” and Kratos himself won “Outstanding Achievement in Character.”
A few other games managed to snag some trophies (mostly in categories God of War wasn’t competing in), and that list included games such as Matt Makes Games’s Celeste (“Action Game of the Year” and “Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game”), Mountains’s Florence (“Portable Game of the Year”), and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (“Fighting Game of the Year”). Not surprisingly, Fortnite won “Online Game of the Year.”
You can find the full list of winners at the 2019 DICE Awards after the break. (more…)

EA just surprise-released Unravel 2 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One
More than two years ago, Electronic Arts quietly admitted that Coldwood had begun development on Unravel 2. Earlier today, the publisher fully unveiled the game during their E3-opening EA Play event… and announced that it’s now available to download for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The sequel continues Yarny’s emotional journey, but this time around, Coldwood upped the ante by adding a drop-in/drop-out cooperative mode to the puzzle-platformer:
Unravel Two features an evocative story filled with energy, intrigue, and inspiration, as well as ominous threats. Players can customize their own Yarnys by helping others in Unravel Two, as they jump, slide, swing and run along their adventure with two Yarnys side-by-side or joined together, always.
The two Yarnys will need to support one another as they work through tricky trials and traverse between beautiful natural landscapes and intricate urban environments, with the surroundings blossoming into new life as they embark on an adventure together.
The engaging and lighthearted story of Unravel Two demonstrates the power of positivity in the face of uncertainty.
A trailer for Unravel 2 has been embedded above.
Coldwood teams up with EA once again for Unravel 2
Coldwood Interactive, the Swedish development team responsible for bringing Unravel to the PC, PS4, and Xbox One earlier this year, will team up with EA once again to produce a second game in the series.
We don’t know much of anything about the currently untitled Unravel 2, but Patrick Soderlund, the Executive Vice President of EA Studios, had some very nice things to say about the people at Coldwood: “The awesomely creative development team at Coldwood Interactive brought tiny, endearing Yarny to life. And since then, it’s been quite incredible to see the community’s love for Yarny, both in the game and beyond.”
Soderlund added, “We could not be more excited to continue working with Martin Sahlin and the great team at Coldwood, and to see the next adventure they bring to life.”
Hopefully, we’ll learn more about Unravel 2 soon.
