Hades wins first Hugo Award in new video game category

The Hugo Awards announced the first winner of its newly created Best Video Game award, and it’s Hades, the roguelite action RPG from developer Supergiant Games. Though the Hugo Awards is a literary awards show dedicated to science fiction and fantasy, this year it branched out into the world of video games and gave Hades another chance to make history.

Supergiant creative director Greg Kasavin reacted to his studio’s game winning a Hugo Award in a tweet, expressing regret that he couldn’t be there to accept on behalf of the team, but shared his gratitude at video games finally having a space at the storied awards show and thanking it for his studio’s work in particular.

Other games nominated for the historic first prize were Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The Last of Us: Part 2, Spiritfarer, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Blaseball, all 2020 games, as the Hugo Awards looks at works from the previous year.

В ноябре 2021 года комитет по подготовке «Хьюго» заявил о намерении включить в список номинаций видеоигры. Первым проектом, заслужившим звание лучшей научно-фантастической или фэнтезийной игры по версии организаторов литературной премии, стала Hades.

Spiritfarer's final update is out now, adding two new spirits

Back in February, Spiritfarer developers Thunder Lotus announced a roadmap of updates for 2021. Today, the last of those was released with the addition of spirit pals Jackie and Daria to the game. With them came another announcement: this is the cosy management game's final update, and its developers are moving onto new things.

Thunder Lotus announced that their gorgeous 2D management simulator Spiritfarer sold a million copies, making the indie game an undeniable success. They also marked the occasion to coincide with the launch of the Farewell Edition, closing the book on Spiritfarer for good.

The game whose developer describes it as a “cozy management game about dying” released to rave reviews in 2020 and featured regular free content updates that added more spirits to ferry to the afterlife and expanded the already expansive world of the game. Farewell Edition brings together all the content updates with the base game for a complete experience.

The latest content update is also now available. The Jackie and Daria Update adds a new island, two new spirits, and a new event. This will be the last content update the game will receive, hence why the definitive edition release is dubbed the Farewell Edition.
