Gamescom 2016 award winners listed; Battlefield 1, Zelda and more

The end of Gamescom 2016 is fast approaching and that means it is time to start handing out awards to the games that were best in show. While we didn't see much of Horizon: Zero Dawn or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, both games, in addition to Battlefield 1 and For Honor, stole the show.

Breath of the Wild stole the award for the "Best of Gamescom." For Honor, Battlefield 1, Sea of Thieves and Breath of the Wild walked away with two awards each. Horizon: Zero Dawn received one award for having the best preview/vision.
