Organizers of the 25th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards (GDCA) have revealed the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement and Pioneer Awards: Sam Lake and Lucas Pope.
This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award will honor iconic video game writer and director Sam Lake, best known for titles like Max Payne, Alan Wake and Quantum Break.
The Pioneer Award will be presented to independent game developer Lucas Pope, who previously pushed the bar for gaming narratives and mechanics through Papers, Please and Return of the Obra Dinn.
Stephenie Hawkins, GDC’s Event Director, said the following:
“The Game Developers Choice Awards has a proud legacy of shining the spotlight on figures who make gaming the most gripping and evocative method of storytelling.
We’re excited to recognize Sam Lake and Lucas Pope for their commitment to pushing the boundaries of the medium through transcendent narrative structures, complex moral questions and evocative gameplay.”
The 25th annual Game Developers Choice Awards ceremony will take place during the 2025 Game Developers Conference (GDC) on March 19, held immediately after the Independent Game Festival (IGF) awards.
