Behind them are two other very good games with a similar number of nominations.

AIAS (Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences) has announced the categories and nominees for the 27th DICE Awards. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was nominated in no less than nine categories, followed by Alan Wake II (eight) and Baldur’s Gate 3 (seven). So those three games will be in quite a few categories, but there’s also Cocoon (six), The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (five), Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (four), Starfield, Diablo IV and Hi-Fi Rush (three), and Hogwarts Legacy (two). The ceremony will be broadcast by IGN on February 15 at the Aria Resort in Las Vegas at the end of DICE Summit Week 2024.
