With E3 2019 coming to an end about two weeks ago, now it’s time to see which games have been successful in their showcase at the biggest gaming event of the year. The results for E3 2019 Game Critics Awards have been officially released and Final Fantasy VII Remake stood at the top.
Through 17 different fields for E3 2019 Game Criticts Awards, Final Fantasy VII Remake succeeded to win three of them including the most important one which is the Best of Show award. The nominees for the event have been chosen from the games that at least 5 minutes of their gameplay demo was playable for the voters at E3, so that’s why games like Halo: Infinite, Blair Witch, Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghostwire: Tokyo aren’t included as nominees.
Other than Final Fantasay 7 Remake, Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs Legion also managed to win the award for Best Action/Adventure game. Here you can read the full list of nominees and winners in every field:
