The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has announced the nominees for its annual video games awards. This year’s BAFTA Games Awards ceremony will take place on April 2.
Control and Death Stranding lead the way in the number of nominations. Both games are represented in 11 categories, while Disco Elysium is nominated in seven categories. But interestingly, Death Stranding did not garner a Best Game nomination.
Sekiro has a chance to get another “Best Game” award (after winning “Game of the Year” at The Game Awards). But it has to compete with Untitled Goose Game first, of course.
