Also during the four-day expo, “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” took top honors and was even adjudged by critics as the best game for Wii U.
It was the second major gaming event that the game took part in and also drew an immense response from fans and gamers. During the E3 2016, “The Legend of Zelda” on Wii U nearly caused a stampede at the event.
Also during the Gamescom 2016, Ubisoft Montreal’s hack-and-slash game, “For Honor,” was also named as the best game on both PC and the PlayStation 4. An Xbox One version will be launched soon too.
The pirate adventure from Rare, “Sea of Thieves,” was also named best Xbox One game and best multiplayer game.
Interestingly, all those three games that were adjudged in the Gamescom 2016 as the best are set to be unveiled next year.
Meanwhile, publisher Dark Horse has just announced that it has forged a partnership with Nintendo for the release of the hardback book entitled “The Legend of Zelda: Arts and Artifacts” on February 21, 2017.
The book is actually in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary and it shall feature a lot of artwork and interviews with those behind the development of games.
