We've got the winners of the DICE Awards 2020, and there are some surprises. At the ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada, the AIAS (Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences) awarded the top prize to the indie Untitled Goose Game (which also scored the outstanding achievement for an independent game), though Remedy's Control won the most prizes (four) in total. Kojima Productions' Death Stranding won twice for the technical achievement and achievement in audio design, while Obsidian's The Outer Worlds was voted as the best roleplaying game of the year and Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was named as the best 'adventure' game of 2019. Respawn also won the 'outstanding achievement in online gameplay' prize.
