Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Continues Its Historic Awards Sweep at the DICE Awards
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 secured five wins at the DICE Awards, bringing the breakout hit one step closer to a rare clean sweep of the industry's major Game of the Year trophies.
Sandfall Interactive is officially running the table this awards season. During Thursday night's ceremony in Las Vegas, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 added five more trophies to its expanding collection at the DICE Awards, including the coveted Game of the Year title. Alongside the top prize, the breakout hit also secured wins for Role Playing Game of the Year, plus outstanding achievements in game direction, art direction, and story. This latest victory brings the team one step closer to matching a legendary industry milestone, putting it on track to potentially sweep all five major Game of the Year accolades alongside Baldur's Gate 3.
While Sandfall dominated the evening, other heavy hitters also earned well deserved recognition. Sucker Punch walked away with three wins for Ghost of Yotei, taking home Adventure Game of the Year, outstanding achievement in character for protagonist Atsu, and original music composition. In the indie and multiplayer spaces, Blue Prince captured awards for game design and indie game of the year, Hades 2 claimed Action Game of the Year, and Arc Raiders secured Online Game of the Year.
As Polygon notes in their original reporting, the DICE Awards hold a unique place in the industry calendar because winners are chosen directly by peer vote from industry professionals rather than a media jury. With only the upcoming BAFTA Games Awards left in April, Expedition 33 is staring down the final boss of its awards run. For a community that has rallied behind this incredible journey since day one, watching this level of craftsmanship get recognized across the board is a massive win for modern single player design.
