British Game Steals the Spotlight
As the year draws to a close, the gaming industry is abuzz with excitement as award nominees are announced for the most prestigious games of the year. Following The Game Awards nominations, it's now the Baftas' turn to shine. One game that has captured attention is Thank Goodness You're Here!, a proudly British creation that exudes Monty Python-esque absurd humor in a delightful animated adventure.
Indie Games Dominate the List
Notably, the Baftas' longlist features more smaller and indie games compared to other major gaming award shows. This trend is not new for the Baftas, as evidenced by the surprising Best Game win of Vampire Survivors two years ago. The Baftas' shortlist for each category will be unveiled on March 5, 2025, with the award ceremony scheduled for April 8, 2024.
Best Game Nominees Longlist
Here are some of the games that made it to the longlist for the Baftas' Best Game category: Animal Well, Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Helldivers 2, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Thank Goodness You're Here!, and Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2.
Potential Nominees in Various Categories
Additionally, a plethora of games are in the running for nominations across different Bafta categories. Some of the notable titles include Batman: Arkham Shadow, Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Hitman World of Assassination, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Minecraft, Star Wars Outlaws, and World of Warcraft, among others.
