Cyberpunk 2077 Managed To Come Out On Top At BAFTA Awards

gameranx.com:

There is no shortage of poorly released games. We’ve seen quite a few that just failed to hit the mark. Few games manage to recover and truly turn things around. Among that short list is CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. However, looking at the game now, we can see just how much the game has transformed into a more optimized and thrilling gameplay experience. 

The annual BAFTA Awards recently showcased a few big game awards. For instance, we recently highlighted that Baldur’s Gate 3 landed several awards at the event. However, it would be amiss if we didn’t mention that Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t come out of the ceremony without snagging one award. 

For some of you, it might be confusing why Cyberpunk 2077 would win an award. After all, Cyberpunk 2077 launched in 2020, and this is an annual award ceremony. However, the game managed to win an award thanks to last year’s DLC release, Phantom Liberty. 

The award that CD Projekt Red was able to take home, in particular, is the Best Evolving Game award. This award goes out to the best game that displayed the best ongoing developer support. Several games were up for the award in this category, including Final Fantasy XIV, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Forza Horizon 5, and No Man’s Sky. 

But in the end, CD Projekt Red was able to come out on top. Of course, this was the only DLC released for Cyberpunk 2077 and support has dropped besides the various updates that deal with clearing out bugs or further optimization. Instead, the focus has shifted to the next big projects from CD Projekt Red. 

We're proud to announce that during the 20th @BAFTAGames Awards, Cyberpunk 2077's development team received the award for Evolving Game.

We're deeply grateful for this choice and deeply humbled by the continuous support the game has been receiving. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/xW3NeuRNRK

That said, CD Projekt Red is not done with the IP as a whole. They might be moving on from Cyberpunk 2077, but they have already revealed that another installment
