Remedy and Simogo win two each at the Nordic Game Awards
Control and Sayonara Wild Hearts named Game of the Year for the big- and small-screen respectively
Remedy Entertainment's Control received the top prize at the Nordic Game Awards last week.
The Finnish studio's celebrated action title picked up two awards at the ceremony: Nordic Game of the Year 2020, the most prestigious prize, and Best Technology.
Remedy was one of two developers to be awarded twice, the other being Sweden's Simogo for Sayonara Wild Hearts. Simogo's mobile game received Best Art and Nordic Game of the Year -- Small Screen.
