Sono stati annunciati da qualche ora tutti i vincitori degli SXSW Gaming Awards di Londra. Il premio più importante, quello di Gioco dell’Anno 2016, è andato ad Uncharted 4: Fine di un Ladro, con la seguente motivazione: il gioco è “una vera e propria manifestazione di eccellenza generale, ed è un’esperienza davvero riuscita e distintiva al di là della piattaforma e del genere di appartenenza.” L’epica avventura di Naughty Dog ha battuto Dishonored 2, DOOM, Overwatch e Titanfall 2, anch’essi nominati per il GOTY.
