The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has just released their list of nominees for this year’s 21st D.I.C.E. Awards. One of the categories in the D.I.C.E.

ARMS

Injustice 2

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Nidhogg 2

Tekken 7

In addition to these, Injustice 2 has also received a nomination for Best Sound Design.

The 21st D.I.C.E. Awards will be presented at the D.I.C.E. Awards ceremony on Thursday, February 22 in Las Vegas as part of the 2018 D.I.C.E (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) Summit.
