Control and Dreams win big at Develop:Star Awards 2020

The results of this year's Develop:Star Awards are in, with Remedy's Control and Media Molecule's Dreams emerging as the big winners.

Each title took home three accolades. The PlayStation-exclusive Dreams won Game of the Year, Best Innovation and Best Game Design in the industry-voted awards ceremony, which runs alongside the Develop:Brighton conference.

Meanwhile, Remedy's sci-fi action game won Best Visual Art, Best Narrative and Best Original IP.

Mediatonic, the UK studio behind the hit multiplayer game Fall Guys, was named Best Studio, with 80 Days and Pendragon developer Inkle awarded Best Micro Studio.

As previously announced, the most prestigious award of the night -- the Develop Star Award -- was given to Bethesda director, designer, and producer Todd Howard.

We spoke to Howard last week, when he told us the next generation will be all about access, and hosted the Develop:Brighton keynote exploring his career, as well as a few hints on the future of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6. You can read the highlights here.
