The GCD Game Developers Choice Awards have been declared for this year! The GDC was originally planned to happen from March 16th through the 20th but was officially postponed last month over COVID-19 concerns.
This was confirmed to be the correct choice after San Francisco, the city where the GDC happens each year, issued a Shelter In Place order earlier this week.
This did not stop the GDC from proceeding with their awards, however, which were streamed in place of a physical awards ceremony. The big winner was House House/Panic for Untitled Goose Game, which took home Game of the Year.
You can see the entire list of winners and nominees below, with the winners being shown in underline. The stream is also available for your viewing pleasure!
