The DICE Awards, widely regarded as one of the industry's top five gaming ceremonies, has unveiled its nominees for Game of the Year (GOTY).

The 29th annual DICE Awards will be held in Las Vegas on February 13, 2025, at 1:00 PM (KST). The ceremony is highly respected within the industry, and last year, Astro Bot took home the Game of the Year award.

The nominees for this year's Game of the Year are Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Blue Prince, and ARC Raiders. Among them, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already secured Game of the Year titles at both The Game Awards and the Golden Joystick Awards.

Notably, this marks the first time ARC Raiders has been nominated for Game of the Year at a major gaming ceremony. Developed by Embark Studios, a subsidiary of NEXON, the extraction shooter saw significant success following its release last October, reaching a peak of 480,000 concurrent players on Steam. Additionally, it won the Best Multiplayer award at The Game Awards 2025.

Meanwhile, the 2025 DICE Awards will also feature various other categories, including Outstanding Achievement in Animation, Character, Art Direction, and genre-specific awards.
