Hades wins big at The New York Game Awards 2021

Supergiant Games’ Hades took over The New York Game Awards with five wins.

The ceremony, which was held on Tuesday, found the popular game winning awards for Game of the Year, Best Writing in a Game, Best Music in a Game, Best Indie Game, and Best Acting in a Game. Supergiant Games’ studio director Amir Rao said this about Hades’ wins at the ceremony:

“We are very grateful to the New York Videogame Critics Circle judges for honoring Hades in a variety of categories during tonight's awards. Our team is all the more thankful to be able to safely work during such a challenging time. We also want to thank our players who helped make Hades what it's become, and who will ensure we can keep making games together for a long time.”

New York Videogame Critics Circle president and founder Harold Goldberg said this about the game:

“All of the nominated games were extraordinary, but Hades touched our critics in many ways, and we all kept coming back for more. From the superb acting, to the compelling writing, to the wondrous artwork, to the stirring music, to the balanced gameplay, Hades very much deserves to be the 10th Annual New York Game Awards’ Game of the Year.”
