Resident Evil Requiem wins Ultimate Game of the Year at Golden Joysticks
Meccha Chameleon also won four awards, while Capcom was named Studio of the Year at the London ceremony.
Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem took the top prize, Ultimate Game of the Year, plus three more awards at Wednesday's Golden Joystick Awards in London, as the series marked its 30th anniversary.
Requiem earned Console Game of the Year, Best Game Trailer and Best Lead Performer, while Capcom was named Studio of the Year. Requiem received 17% of the public vote for the top prize.
Angela Sant'Albano received Best Lead Performer for her portrayal of Grace Ashcroft. Ashcroft, an FBI agent, teams up with returning character Leon S. Kennedy in the game to investigate mysterious deaths.
Evil Has Always Had a Name, a live-action short film based on Requiem, won the trailer award. The film portrays a city collapsing and a parent and child's tragedy.
Capcom said Requiem has sold 8.5 million units globally since its February release, while total Resident Evil game sales have exceeded 218 million units. Requiem is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
"Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences," the Osaka-based company said.
Two more Capcom games earned prizes. Onimusha: Way of the Sword received Best Audio Design, while Grace Saif won Best Supporting Performer for playing Diana in Pragmata. Onimusha follows Miyamoto Musashi in early Edo-era Kyoto; the game has sold 1.7 million copies following its Sept. 4 release.
Indie game Meccha Chameleon matched Requiem with four awards, taking Streamers' Choice, Developers' Choice, Best Multiplayer Game and Best Indie Game - Self-Published. In its multiplayer hide-and-seek gameplay, players use paint as camouflage to escape opponents hunting them.
Crimson Desert took PC Game of the Year, while Dispatch won Best Storytelling and Best Soundtrack. The Witcher 4 received Most Wanted Game, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered took Best Remake / Remaster.
A worldwide public vote determined 22 categories, while critics decided Streamers' Choice, Critics' Choice and Developers' Choice, BBC News reported. The awards began in 1983.
Australian developer House House won Critics' Choice for Big Walk, its co-operative online game. The BBC reported that House House faced criticism this week after reports emerged of generative AI use near the end of the game's development; the studio had not revealed that use when the game launched.
House House said the tool produced a tiny amount of code.
