Sony's 2022 marquis titles are leading the nominations for the 2023 D.I.C.E. Awards. The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) revealed the nominees for the upcoming awards show, and Sony Santa Monica's God of War Ragnarok and Guerrilla Games' Horizon Forbidden West have, respectively, at 12 and 8, among the highest of the 61 games included.
Along with Game of the Year, both titles are nominated in categories such as Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction, Original Music Composition, and Outstanding Achievement in Character. The latter category covers both Kratos and his son Atreus for God of War and Aloy for Horizon.
