Supergiant’s hit roguelike Hades has become the first video game ever to win a Hugo Award. The Hugo Awards have traditionally recognized the best science fiction and fantasy works, but the award was extended to video games last year with the introduction of the Best Video Game category.

The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) has hosted its first ever Global Game Industry Awards. Supergiant Games’ indie hit Hades became a big winner, taking home 9 accolades.

NoClip has been covering the development of Hades since its early access launch in 2018. Now the 4-hour documentary is available in full.

The Last of Us Part II was named the Game of the Year at the 2020 Game Awards. It also took home six other big awards including best direction, narrative, action/adventure game, audio design, innovation in accesibility and performance for Laura Bailey.

Supergiant Games, the studio behind Bastion, Pyre, and Hades, is now 16 people strong. Seven of them have been with the company from the very beginning over ten years ago. Studio director Amir Rao and writer / designer Greg Kasavin discuss the culture of sustainability at the studio.
