DEVELOP:STAR AWARDS July 12th


Not a bad night on the south coast for Sony’s studios, with God of War Ragnarök picking up three awards and Guerrilla taking another three with them back to the Netherlands. Despite the impressive haul, perhaps the biggest winner was Jo Twist, enjoying her last night out as the outgoing CEO of Ukie and leaving with the Special Recognition Award.
