BAFTA Games Awards Nominees Announced
While we might be well into 2022, the 2021 award season is still going strong. BAFTA is the latest organization to reveal its list of nominees for its game awards, and with 39 games nominated, it's safe to say there's a little something for everyone.
Among the most celebrated titles to make the list are the quirky co-op game It Takes Two and Housemarque's roguelike Returnal, both of which earned an impressive eight nominations. Included in those nominations is the one for Best Game, an honor It Takes Two has already earned at both the DICE Awards and The Game Awards. Both games also received nominations for Artistic Achievement, Best Game Design, Best Narrative Game, and Best Original Property.
