This year’s nominations for the annual BAFTA Games Awards have been announced, featuring the best titles from the past 12 months.
The clear frontrunner is God Of War, which earned a whopping 10 nominations, including four within the Performer category.
Close behind is Red Dead Redemption II and Return Of The Obra Dinn with six nominations each, while Celeste and Florence earned five nominations.
While God Of War has already become a favourite in other award shows it’s surprising how many nominations it earned within the Performer category – especially considering Red Dead Redemption II only received one for Roger Clark’s portrayal of Arthur Morgan.
The success of VR titles like Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Moss, and Tetris Effect are also represented, along with cardboard trickery in Nintendo Labo.
The winners will be decided by a panel of judges, while EE Mobile Game Of The Year will be determined by a public vote.
You can check out the full list of nominations below, with the ceremony hosted by Dara Ó Briain taking place on Thursday 14 March.
