"Enshrouded" by Keen Games Claims Double Victory at German Computer Game Awards
"Enshrouded" bags top honors in two categories at the prestigious German Computer Game Awards
Get ready to tip your cap to Frankfurt's very own Keen Games! Their survival-action game, "Enshrouded," stole the show at the much-anticipated German Computer Game Awards ceremony in Berlin.
This stunning production snagged the top prize in not one, but two categories: "Best German Game," which came with a whopping €100,000 check, and "Best Innovation and Technology," which added an extra €40,000 to their prize purse!
The team at Keen Games has been riding a wave of success - they impressed judges back in December at the German Developer Awards in Cologne, taking home a four-pack of trophies. However, the capital city showdown took their achievements to a whole new level!
Creative director Antony Christoulakis from Keen Games shared his excitement, acknowledging the team's prolonged efforts faced with occasional challenges. "It's an incredible feeling to finally get this level of recognition for the hard work we've put into this project," he said.
The annual German Computer Game Awards, fondly known as DCP, honors outstanding achievements in German game development, celebrating innovation, creativity, and tech advancements. A who's-who of culture, media, politics, and the gaming world gathered at Berlin's Palais am Funkturm to raise a glass to the country's finest productions. In total, DCP 2025 dished out €800,000 in prize money across all categories[1].
So, raise a glass, gamers! "Enshrouded" is making some serious noise in the world of survival RPG action, and its success at the German Computer Game Awards speaks volumes about its industry standing. Here's to more victories down the line!

I'm not sure if the specific technology used in "Enshrouded" was explicitly mentioned, but considering its win in the "Best Innovation and Technology" category, it's reasonable to assume that the game employs some pioneering techniques and advancements in the field of technology.
However, the team at Keen Games has been quite coy about discussing the nitty-gritty details, and they may not be entirely sure about the exact implications of their technological innovations for future game development.
