What just happened? The 22nd annual DICE Awards took place in Las Vegas last night, and God of War was the star of the show. Not only did the brilliant PlayStation 4 exclusive get crowned Game of the Year, but it also won nine out of the 23 categories.

In addition to taking home the coveted Game of the Year honor, God of War won awards in the Game Direction, Game Design, Sound Design, Adventure Game of the year, Character, Story, Original Music Composition, and Art Direction categories.

The only other game to walk away with more than one award on the night was Celeste. The action-platformer won action game of the year and outstanding achievement for an independent game.

Despite receiving rave reviews from critics and consumers alike, Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 won only one award: Outstanding Technical Achievement.

Another notable result was Monster Hunter: World winning RPG of the year. It faced stiff competition from Ni No Kuni: Revenant Kingdom, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

The ceremony also saw Microsoft corporate vice president and head of 343 Industries Bonnie Ross inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame. Ross was honored for her work on the Halo franchise, as well as promoting STEM and diversity across the video game industry. She became the first woman to win the award, joining the likes of Hideo Kojima and Gabe Newell.
