While we've covered a lot of ceremonies over the past few months, the 2023/2024 award season isn't over just yet. Last week, Remedy collected an additional two awards for Alan Wake 2 at the Develop:Star Awards 2024 in the UK, with Sam Lake receiving a third trophy for Best Creative Lead for his work.
The trophies for Best Visual Art and Best Audio were accepted by Vida Starčević, Senior Community Manager at Remedy, who took a moment away from her Summer holiday to attend the event. Despite the strong competition within the categories heading into the evening, Remedy won half of their nominations, matching that of Larian Studios.
Writing on LinkedIn following the event, the studio shared, "Thank you for an incredible evening, Develop:Star Awards! It was a privilege to attend the award show during Develop:Brighton and celebrate the many, many excellent video games that have enriched our industry in the past year. We were honored to accept the Best Visual Art, Best Audio awards for Alan Wake 2, and our humble and sincere thanks for awarding Sam Lake the Best Creative Lead award. Congratulations to all the other winners and nominees! A special shoutout goes to our friends at Larian Studios for taking three awards home as well." The post also shared three photographs from the event, featuring Vida's acceptance of the awards on stage and Sam's speech.
The ceremony wrapped up the three-day networking event, Develop:Brighton, held at the Brighton Dome in the south of England on July 10th. While the awards ceremony wasn't livestreamed, photographs were taken throughout, including Vida's acceptance.
