FromSoftware's latest "child" also proved victorious in two other categories: visuals and game design.
Three statuettes were claimed by the game's biggest competitor, God of War Ragnarok, which won in the categories of best sound design, best technology and audience award.
During this year's Game Developer Choice Awards industry legends John Romero and Mabel Addis were also honored.
Romero is the co-founder of id Software and a pioneer of first-person shooters.
