RGG KIWAMI wins Users’ Choice Award at the PlayStation Awards 2016

Dec 13, 2016 | | 0 Comments

On a stage full of my favorite Japanese devs Nagoshi-san received the Users’ Choice Award for Ryu Ga Gotoku KIWAMI.

Unfortunately the voting period was closed before the release of Yakuza 6 in Japan so it’s notably absent from all of the awards at the show. You can see Nagoshi being shuffled on stage to accept the award at the 29:50 mark. Not bad for a remake of a 10 year old game. The award was chosen by user vote between October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016 so expect RGG6 to clean up next year! Congrats everyone at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio!
