CESA has announced the winners of the Cedec Awards 2022. The development teams of Elden Ring and Uma Musume: Pretty Derby from From Software and Cygames, respectively, have won multiple awards.

The Elden Ring developers won two awards as a group. The team received the Game Design Award for successfully integrating an open world into its Souls series gameplay system. It also won the Visual Arts Award for combining picturesque sceneries with realistic details in its level designs.

From Software's Hidetada Miyazaki also won the individual Special Award in the CEDEC Awards 2022. The judges noted how the company's president and game director gathered attention from both game creators and players worldwide. After defining a new genre with Demon's Souls, Miyazaki released Elden Ring as a compilation with a larger volume than his prior titles.

Meanwhile, Cygames' Uma Musume development team won the Sound Award for producing a variety of running and cheering sounds to set the ambiance of the game's races. The Cygames Tech Conference team received the Engineering Award for the clear explanations of its practical application of technology in its titles, including Uma Musume.
