On March 10, 2022, the French Academy of Video Game Arts and Techniques hosted the 3rd Pegases Ceremony. The French event rewards the best national and international projects of the year in various relevant categories, including Sound Design, Game Setting, Artistic Design, and more.

Two games from Plug In Digital’s publishing label, Dear Villagers, have been nominated for a prestigious Pegase Trophy: Edge Of Eternity by Midgar Studio and The Forgotten City by Modern Storyteller appeared in five categories, featuring the work of our teams and partner studios.

The Forgotten City awarded as Best International Video Game

Nominee alongside the stunning Little Nightmares II and Psychonauts 2, The Forgotten City keep inspiring admiration and make all teams proud by winning the award for Best International Video Game of the Year. An undeniable reward and encouragement for all video game enthusiasts. Guillaume, Head of Publishing, took the floor:

« The Forgotten City is a fascinating Franco-Australian project. When we launched Dear Villagers three years ago, our aim was to tell beautiful stories and this one is a wonderful one. Like that of Nick Pearce, founder of Monder Storyteller. A former lawyer who dropped everything and brought together a team of three people to develop a hell of masterpiece, The Forgotten City. They did it »
