"Everspace 2" has been named the best German video game at the German Computer Game Prize (DCP). The space epic from development studio Rockfish won the coveted main prize.
The horror game "Ad Infinitum" took home the most blue-glowing trophies – with awards for best debut, best audio design, and, in the new category, best story. The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) gave the laudatory speech for the studio of the year. He described the computer games industry as one of the "most important and exciting industries of the future.' "Of course, I deserve this," the Player of the Year said jokingly after accepting the award on stage. "When you play through the game, you also notice that there is not only horror in it, but also a lot of soul,' said the owner of the Berlin-based development studio Hekate, Lukas Deuschel. Two nominees will each receive 25,000 euros: Fall of Porcupine and Lose Lose. The Young Talent Award, Best Prototype will be awarded at a later date. The Best Innovation and Technology award will be handed out at the end of the year. The Hekate / Nacon show will be held at the Marble Maze in Berlin on November 26 and 27. It will be followed by the Berlin Film Festival on November 28 and 29. The final will take place on November 30 and October 1 at the Berlin Film Festival in front of a crowd of 2,000 people at the Bremenplatz.
