Remember how Control and Death Stranding were going head-to-head with their number of nominations for the 23rd annual DICE awards, including the coveted Game of the Year? Turns out that neither one snagged it. Instead, that honour went to… Untitled Goose Game?

Yes, House House’s indie darling beat out Death Stranding, Control, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds to earn it. The kicker? The goose itself beat out Cliff Unger and Sam Porter Bridges from Death Stranding, Jesse Faden from Control, and Greeze from Jedi: Fallen Order to win the Outstanding Achievement in Character award, too!

That being said, Control did walk away with four awards, as it won Action Game of the Year and the Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction, Game Direction and Music Composition awards. Meanwhile, Death Stranding earned two awards, winning Outstanding Achievement in Audio Design and Outstanding Technical Achievement. Disco Elysium earned Outstanding Achievement in Story, while Outstanding Achievement in Animation went to Luigi’s Mansion 3. Fighting Game of the Year went to Mortal Kombat 11, and The Outer Worlds earned RPG of the Year.

To see the full list of winners (and nominees), you can head over to the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences’ website.

The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
  • Improvements to castle building, decor, and storage
  • Native, smoothly implemented gamepad support
  • Game optimization and visual improvements

V Rising exits Early Access on Steam on May 8th, alongside the Legacy of Castlevania crossover. A PlayStation 5 version will also be released later this year.
