Digital Dragons Awards 2023 winners announced
The winners for the 2023 Digital Dragons Awards were announced last night.
Winning the top award of Best Polish Game is Dying Light 2: Stay Human, which is out on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game also won for Best Polish Game Design. The full list of winners can be seen below. Since 2012, the Digital Dragons Awards celebrate the best in Poland’s gaming industry.
Jacek Wandzel, Digital Dragons Awards and Indie Showcase coordinator said this about the ceremony:
“At this year’s Digital Dragons Awards we saw the triumphs of literally giant games – Cyberpunk, Dying Light 2, Elden Ring. Quite deserved triumphs, results of not only budgets and hard work, but also great design, gameplay and devotion to their fans. But it is also a victory for the indie or premium indie segments: Serial Cleaners and BLACKTAIL are authentically, audio-visually outstanding in a way that seemingly only smaller titles can manage. In fact, all the nominees deserved to win, including the smaller, adorable Railbound. Not to mention the titles that weren’t nominated – it’s not their fault but of the absolute cornucopia provided by the Polish and global gamedev.”
Marcin Wronka, ustatkowanygracz.pl (jury member) also said:
“The last couple years belong to the darker winners of Digital Dragons Awards – last year The Medium won while this year Dying Light 2 is celebrating. Techland did its absolute best releasing a sequel worthy of its great first instalment. While the competition was stiff, Aiden’s adventures can once again boast fluent parkour, combat that’s just a lot of fun and adrenaline that’s boiling during night time treks through the city. The game’s promised constant evolution and support over the years guarantees new expansions and activities as we wait for the next game. While I’m used to the high quality of Polish games I am still tremendously happy that such big titles are being made in our studios.”
