Released in February, it was the latest instalment of the global survival horror phenomenon, which has also spawned books, films and TV programmes since it was first released 30 years ago.

At Wednesday's awards ceremony, it scooped ultimate game of the year, console game of the year, best game trailer, and best lead performer for the game's star Angela Sant'Albano, who plays protagonist Grace Ashcroft.

Meanwhile its makers, Japanese studio Capcom, was named studio of the year and was also recognised for other games, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Pragmata.

FBI agent Grace Ashcroft was a brand new lead character in Resident Evil Requiem who, along with returning fan favourite Leon S. Kennedy, explores old haunts, such as Racoon City's police department as they investigate a series of mysterious deaths.

Securing 17% of the public vote, it was named ultimate game of the year ahead of other contenders Phantom Blade Zero, Crimson Desert, Control Resonant and The Blood of Dawnwalker.

There were prizes across 25 categories up for grabs - 22 of which are decided by a public vote amongst gamers from around the world.

While streamers' choice, critics' choice and developers' choice award are decided by critics.

Two of those went to indie hit Meccha Chameleon, a multiplayer hide-and-seek game where players paint themselves to blend in with their surroundings to evade others playing as hunters.

Big Walk - a co-operative online game produced by Australian developer House House - was named critics' choice winner.

The studio was criticised this week after reports it used generative AI in the final stretch of the game's development - something it did not disclose at the time of the its release.

It said the tool was used to produce a tiny amount of code.
