Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Grabbed Four Trophies at DICE Awards 2022

Winners of the 25th Annual DICE Awards have been announced by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, with Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two dominating the show. Ratchet’s first PlayStation 5 outing took home the most number of awards, winning four of the eight categories that it was nominated under. Meanwhile, co-op adventure It Takes Two won yet another Game-of-the-Year trophy. It was a good night for publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment in general as it also picked up two awards for Housemarque’s PS5 game Returnal. Kena: Bridge of Spirits was nominated in numerous categories, but unfortunately, didn’t win any of them.
