congratulate! Hades became the first video game to win a Hugo Award

In the 2021 Hugo Awards, Hades became the first video game to receive the award. Greg Kasvin, creative director of supergiant Games, the developer of the game, said he regrets not being able to speak on behalf of the team, but he is grateful to the Hugo Awards judges for appreciating their work.

Also nominated for the award were Soul Traveler, The Last Survivor Part II, and The Gathering! Animal Friends," "Final Fantasy VII Remake," and "BlassBall."

The annual Hugo Awards were originally a literary award that honors the best science fiction and fantasy work of the year. This year is the first time the award has included the video game category in the selection.

The Hugo Awards have also been ad hoc in the past, such as several awards in 1953 that were selected in this edition only. According to Kotaku, judging from the classification of awards, this game award may also be a special award for this year, but there is still an opportunity to continue to be judged in the future.
