Reanimal vinder fornem svensk pris

Mens hele gaming-verdenen havde øjnene rettet mod Gamescom i sidste uge, blev svenske Tarsier Studios hyldet for Reanimal med en Utmärkt Svensk Form award (Excellent Swedish Design Award), som er den mest prestigefyldte pris fra Svensk Form. Prisen uddeles hvert år i september til produkter, materialer og miljøer, der udmærker sig ved et fremragende design og bidrager til at udvikle og synliggøre svensk design, både nationalt og internationalt.

Prisen blev overleveret af Hans Kongelige Højhed Prins Carl Philip af Sverige.

Juryen har delt deres begrundelse for at prisen skulle tilfalde Reanimal og Tarsier Studios:

Through a consistent and deeply accomplished approach to environmental storytelling, atmosphere and interactive design, the project expands the unique possibilities of video games as an artistic medium. With exceptional precision, players are invited to explore, interpret and construct meaning. Reanimal receives the Excellent Swedish Design Award 2026 for its innovative work in visual expression, storytelling and interactive design.

Oliver Merlöv, CEO hos Tarsier Studios siger efter prisuddelingen: "For our studio and games to be recognised by an organisation as prestigious as Svensk Form is truly meaningful to us. We are honoured to contribute to putting Sweden on the cultural map by making games that we love and are passionate about. At Tarsier, we are all game developers but we all approach our work in different ways and with different sources of inspiration. It is this creative blend that I believe creates something unique and memorable that resonates with players around the world."
