Appena un mese fa assistevamo alla spettacolare cerimonia dei The Game Awards, che ha visto trionfare come miglior gioco dell’anno The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, e che ha fatto letteralmente incetta di premi nell’edizione di quest’anno. Uno dei grandi esclusi invece fu proprio Horizon Zero Dawn, che nonostante le tante nomination non portò a casa neanche una statuetta. Gli sviluppatori di Guerrilla Games però potranno ancora esultare per il loro titolo, visto che alla premiazione dei Game Developers Conference Choice Awards 2018 (GDC) Horizon ha ottenuto una nomination in ben sei categorie diverse, nelle quali però corre anche il “rivale” Zelda.
In attesa dell’evento che si terrà il prossimo 21 marzo, vi lasciamo alle nomination e alle menzioni speciali di tutte le categorie che verranno premiate sul palco della kermesse!
