The awards show, which I was in the audience for, also featured a 1v1 Rivals duel between its developer, Nosniy, and Kaye, a YouTuber, which Nosniy took. Following that, the two Twin Atlas developers duked it out in Dueling Grounds, a 2v2 competition of Terminal took place, and Duck Duck was also a battleground for score settling. Plus, Roblox announced that another The Hunt event is coming on September 17.
Congrats to all the winners and nominees – everybody’s worked really hard this year, and I can’t wait to see what the next year of games have in store for us. Given the vast array of RDC 2026 announcements, I’m sure it’ll be another banger.
