D.I.C.E. Award for Outstanding Achievement in Character

The D.I.C.E. Award for Outstanding Achievement in Character is an award presented annually by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences during the D.I.C.E. Awards. This award is "presented to the individual or team whose work has furthered the interactive experience through the creation of a memorable character within an interactive title. Outstanding character takes into consideration the marriage of voice acting and performance (motion capture work), character design and execution, and writing". All creative/technical members of the Academy are qualified to vote in this category, regardless of their field of expertise. There were originally separate awards for female and male characters, but eventually merged into one category at the 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in 2008.

The award's most recent winner is for Atsu (portrayed by Erika Ishii, directed by Nate Fox, and written by Ian Ryan) from Ghost of Yōtei, developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
