Another successful Develop Awards has come to an end, having recognised the greatest creators, titles and firms currently involved in making games.
Big winners included CD Projekt Red, both for The Witcher III and as Studio of the Year; triple winner Sam Barlow for Her Story; The Chinese Room for Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture; Unreal Engine 4 and our Development Legend Hideo Kojima, who appeared in person to collect his special accolade from Mark Cerny.
You can check out Develop’s pictures from the night here, but studios and companies at the ceremony also took the time to congratulate their teams and the rest of the industry on social media.
