The American Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences recently announced the nominees for the 25th DICE Game Awards, with a total of 59 games nominated in 2021, including 9 nominations for Ricky and Ding-Dong: Time-Time Jump, 8 nominations for Death Loop, 6 nominations for Evil Meditation and "Two-Person Trip", 5 nominations for Death Return, and 4 nominations each for Conan: Bridge of Spirits and Resident Evil: Village.
The four letters of "DICE" represent Design, Innovation, Communicate, Entertainment, and the DICE Awards are hailed as the "Oscars of the game world" – both are "Academy of Arts and Science Awards", while the more well-known TGA Awards are not actually in this category, it may be more like the "Golden Globe Awards".
