BAFTA Game Awards: Baldur's Gate 3, Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2 lead the nominations

Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios takes the lead at the 2024 BAFTA Games Awards, with 10 nominations.

BAFTA has announced the nominations for the 20th BAFTA Games Awards, scheduled to take place in London on 11 April. 

Leading the pack this year is Baldur's Gate 3, the epic, fantasy RPG adventure from Belgian game developer Larian Studios. The game has an impressive 10 nominations, including nods for Best Game, Artistic Achievement, and Music. 

Notably, the actors portraying the game's beloved characters Karlach (Samantha Béart) and Astarion (Neil Newbon) are among those vying for individual accolades for Performer in a leading role. 

The multiplayer role-playing game set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons won Game of the Year and five other awards at The Game Awards last year.

Sony's acclaimed sequel Spider-Man 2 follows Baldur's Gate 3 closely with nine BAFTA Games Awards nominations, trailed by Alan Wake 2 with eight.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor each earned six nominations.

Dave the Diver, a single player deep-sea exploration game, stands out as the only (arguably) indie game contender for Best Game this year, reminiscent of last year's unexpected victory of Vampire Survivors.
