Hades Is The First Game To Win A Hugo Award
Roguelike hit Hades became the first video game ever to win a Hugo Award.
Supergiant's latest victory was announced via Worldcon's Twitter account (World Science Fiction Convention) which runs the awards. The Hugo Awards is dedicated to works from the previous year so Hades competed with other 2020 releases: Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Blaseball, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Spiritfarer, and The Last of Us: Part 2.
Supergiant Games writer and creative director Greg Kasavin said that he and the team are "incredibly honored" to be the first recipient of the Hugo Award's Best Video Game award.
"Video game storytelling has come a long way over the years," Kasavin said. "You can really inhabit these worlds and see how it reacts to your every move, and at Supergiant we've tried to marry the traditions of fantasy and science fiction literature with that unique interactive component to create these worlds that feel as though they're alive.
We're so grateful our work on Hades has stood out in this way, and we hope that the Hugo Awards continue to recognise the amazing work being done in this space."
