Pergelaran The Game Awards 2021 berakhir sukses dengan banyak kejutan menarik yang sulit untuk ditebak. Selain itu, kita juga kedatangan banyak jajaran game baru selama pergelaran besar ini. Meskipun demikian, mereka tidak lupa untuk membagikan penghargaan terbesar bagi salah satu game terbarik tahun ini. Untuk itu, It Takes Two berhasil raih penghargaan Game of The Year pada TGA tahun 2021. Lantas, apa strategi selanjutnya?
Bagi kalian penggemar Co-Op pastinya cukup mengenal Hazelight Studios. Yup, studio yang satu ini memang cukup berpengalaman dalam urusan game Co-Op dengan konsep yang unik. Game mereka yang bernama A Way Out cukup sukses dan mendapatkan respon positif dari gamer. Melihat kesuksesan game lamanya, kini Josef Fares sebagai sang kreator akhirnya memutuskan untuk membuat game baru dengan formula yang sama.
It Takes Two Menangkan Game of The Year Pada Pergelaran TGA 2021
Tepatnya pada bulan Maret 2021 lalu, Josef mengumumkan game terbarunya It Takes Two, yang berfokus pada elemen Co-Op 2 Player serta tema lebih berwarna dari game sebelumnya. Belum mencapai setahun, game tersebut telah tembus 3 Juta player lewat platform pilihannya. Selain itu, ia juga memenangkan penghargaan Golden Joystick Awards sebagai game Multiplayer terbaik pada tanggal 24 November lalu.
Tak lama setelah berita tersebut muncul, It Takes Two lagi-lagi berhasil meraih penghargaan bergengsi pada Event game tahun ini. Namun, kali ini yang mereka raih adalah penghargaan terbesar Game of The Year dari The Game Awards 2021. Ia berhasil mengalahkan jajaran game besar seperti Forza Horizon, Psychonauts 2, Deadloop, dan Marvel’s Guardian of The Galaxy.
Josef Fares selaku krateor sekaligus perwakilan dari Hazellight Studios mengaku sangat terkejut dengan pencapaian besarnya ini. Josef tanpa basa-basi langsung memberikan rasa apresiasinya untuk para gamer yang telah mendukung perkembangan gamenya hingga sekarang. Tentunya, ini menjadi hari yang menyenangkan bagi Hazellight Studios mengingat baru-baru ini mereka sedang terjerat masalah hak nama dengan Take-Two Interactive.
