Resident Evil Requiem is a triumphant winner of the gamescom award 2025 - the game won in four categories
The gamescom 2025 exhibition is coming to an end.
Gamers have seen (and will still see during the two remaining days) a huge number of interesting announcements and shows. But the organisers of the show traditionally summarise the results of the shows a bit earlier and have already held the annual gamescom award 2025 ceremony.
Here's What We Know
Gamescom award 2025 honours the most outstanding games and companies in 18 categories. Moreover, the attention was given to the newly presented games as well as to the already released ones.
Perhaps it will surprise few people that the triumphant winner of the event was the long-awaited Resident Evil Requiem - the ninth numbered part of the cult series won in four categories, including Best PlayStation Game and Best Sound Design.
