Wuthering Waves Continues Its Journey Towards Esteemed Game Awards
This year’s highlighted award is the DICE Awards 2025. If you’re not familiar, this is one of the most prestigious game awards, celebrating its 28th anniversary. The DICE Awards 2025 is organized by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), one of the longest-standing professional organizations in the United States, founded in 1980. Similar to The Game Awards, the DICE Awards is a premier ceremony in the video game industry.
Every year, the DICE Awards announces the nominees across various categories. This year, the Mobile Game of the Year category has generated significant buzz. The five nominees this year are Balatro, Halls of Torment, Monument Valley 3, Paper Trail, and Wuthering Waves. Apart from Balatro, which has gained considerable popularity, Wuthering Waves is the only Gacha game listed among these nominees.
Can Wuthering Waves Make Its Mark at the DICE Awards 2025?
It is important to acknowledge that 2024 is shaping up to be a significant year for the Gacha game genre, with many blockbuster titles set to launch and make waves. However, the fact that only Wuthering Waves is nominated at the DICE Awards 2025 has taken many by surprise. This implies that AIAS is evaluating Kuro Games’ newcomer more favorably compared to other major releases this year such as miHoYo’s Zenless Zone Zero, Lilith Games’ AFK Journey, or MICA Team’s Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium.
Wuthering Waves’ chances at the DICE Awards 2025 also look promising. Currently, the competition includes Balatro, which has already secured five nominations simultaneously. It is indeed possible that Balatro will triumph in another category, while Wuthering Waves could clinch the title of Mobile Game of the Year. However, this assessment is purely speculative. The final results will be revealed when the DICE Awards 2025 announces its winners on February 13, 2025.
