Helldivers 2 Wins Game of the Year at TIGA Awards 2024
Arrowhead Studios’ Helldivers 2 has secured the Game of the Year (GOTY) title at the prestigious TIGA Awards 2024, held at Shoreditch Town Hall, London. The co-op shooter also clinched awards for Best Visual Design and Best Technical Innovation, marking a remarkable achievement in a competitive gaming year.
