L’edizione annuale del South by Southwest (SXSW) è appena giunta al termine. Il festival musicale e cinematografico – come qualcuno sicuramente saprà – premia anche i videogiochi e, stavolta, a uscirne vittorioso è Uncharted 4.
Il premio di Gioco dell’Anno è infatti andato all’ultimo di Naughty Dog; nulla da fare per Dishonored 2, Doom, Overwatch e Titanfall 2, anch’essi candidati.
Complimenti a Naughty Dog, quindi, che al momento è al lavoro non solo su The Last of Us 2, ma anche sulla prima espansione di trama dello stesso Uncharted 4.
