Ukupno 68 naslova nominirano je za 21. izdanje dodjele nagrada DICE Awards. Najviše nominacija dobila je igra Horizon Zero Dawn koja se pojavljuje u čak deset kategorija.
Proizvođači videoigara početkom godine otkrili su svoje nominacije za GDC Awards koji će se održati u trećem mjesecu, a sada je red došao na Akademiju interaktivnih umjetnosti i nauke, odnosno na njihov DICE Awards. Svakako, ni kod ove dodjele nagrada nema nekih velikih odstupanja u nominacijama naspram svih prethodnih.
U slučaju DICE Awardsa dvije istaknute prošlogodišnje igre – Zelda i Horizon – nisu u sličnim pozicijama. Naime, prema žiriju DICE-a Horizon Zero Dawn zaslužio je nominacije u sveukupno deset kategorija, uključujući onu za igru godine. Zelda je, s druge strane, dobila šest nominacija te se također takmiči za igru godine.
Među ukupno 68 različitih igara koje su nominirane za nagrade još su se istaknuli: Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Cuphead te Uncharted: The Lost Legacy koji su skupili po pet nominacija. Kompletnu listu nominacija prenosimo u nastavku, uz napomenu da će pobjednici biti proglašeni na ceremoniji u Las Vegasu 22. 02.
