Baldur's Gate 3 Sweeps The Awards

Now, at the Game Developers Choice Awards, Baldur's Gate 3 was named Game of the Year, beating out the likes of Cocoon, Dredge, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The announcement was made at a ceremony held during this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) in front of developers, industry experts, and members of the press.
