Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem won Ultimate Game of the Year at the 44th Golden Joystick Awards, held on November 11. The survival-horror title also claimed Console Game of the Year, making it the biggest winner of the ceremony
The game added two more honors. Its 'Evil Has Always Had a Name’ short film won Best Game Trailer, while Angela Sant’Albano received Best Lead Performer for playing Grace Ashcroft. Resident Evil Requiem therefore finished the night with four awards. The result confirms strong public support for Capcom’s latest entry in the long-running horror franchise.
Capcom also won Studio of the Year, extending its successful night beyond Resident Evil Requiem. The publisher’s work on Onimusha: Way of the Sword helped it secure the Best Audio Design award.
Grace Saif won Best Supporting Performer for her role in Pragmata, another Capcom release. The studio’s broad performance across major categories underlined its strength across multiple franchises.
Independent co-op game Meccha Chameleon matched Resident Evil Requiem with four wins. It took Best Multiplayer Game, Best Indie Game (Self-Published), Developers’ Choice, and the Streamers’ Choice award.
The result stands out because Meccha Chameleon competed against much larger productions. Its success highlights the continued influence of small teams and community-driven games at major industry events.
Crimson Desert won PC Game of the Year, while The Witcher 4 earned the Most Wanted Game award. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered won Best Remake/Remaster, showing the enduring appeal of CD Projekt Red’s fantasy epic.
Dispatch performed strongly in narrative categories. It won both Best Storytelling and Best Soundtrack, while Control Resonant took Best Visual Design. Valheim won Best Indie Game, and Subnautica 2 received Best Early Access Game. Iron Lung won Best Game Adaptation, while Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations claimed Best Game Expansion.
