The Writers Guild of America handed out the 2018 Writers Guild Awards over the weekend, and Guerrilla’s Horizon: Zero Dawn took home the award for “Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing.”
Narrative Director John Gonzalez and Lead Writer Benjamin McCaw were the leading creative force responsible for the post-apocalyptic tale, but the award will also be shared by four other writers at Guerrilla (Ben Schroder, Anne Toole, Meg Jayanth, and Dee Warrick).
Horizon: Zero Dawn beat out Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow, and Madden NFL 18‘s “Longshot” Story Mode to win this year’s “Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing” award.
