Last night was the 20th BAFTA ceremony in London, another major event aimed at rewarding the best games in the world. And Baldur’s Gate 3 once again shone brightly there.
Larian Studios’ absolute masterpiece, Baldur’s Gate 3, is the game that has won the most awards at the BAFTAs. A sign among many others of the masterful work done by Larian Studios. Other renowned titles, however, have clearly not been unworthy. And the winners are…
Baldur’s Gate 3 once again crowned as a brilliant masterpiece
The 20th BAFTA ceremony is a sort of magnificent swan song for Baldur’s Gate 3. The title which literally shook the year 2023 will in fact have neither DLC nor sequel and will go to the top of its game. History will tell us if this already legendary game can even compete for the title of best game of the decade. Meanwhile, he was showered with awards at the latest event to celebrate the world’s best video games.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is in fact the game that won the most titles of the ceremony, with no less than five trophies to its credit! He received the following awards:
- Best Game
- Music
- Narration
- Performance in a supporting role (Andrew Wincott as the hypnotizing Raphael)
- Players’ Choice
Prizes that could not be more deserved, for one of the most striking and ambitious games of recent years. Even though Larian Studios has decided not to work on another game in this license, we are looking forward to their next creation! Congratulations to the independent Belgian studio and its passionate teams for the absolutely deserved critical success that was Baldur’s Gate 3!
Other great games rightly rewarded at the BAFTAs
Of course, it wasn’t just for Baldur’s Gate 3. Other notable games were also rewarded with well-deserved awards. Alan Wake 2, for its part, left with two awards under its arm: Artistic Achievement and Audio Achievement. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom received the Technical Achievement award. Staying on Nintendo, Super Mario Bros. Wonder received the Multiplayer and Family awards. Staying on the big-budget games side, Cyberpunk 2077 received a hard-earned award from CD Projekt RED: Evolutionary Gaming.
Independent games were not left out at the BAFTAs. For example, we can cite the excellent and innovative Viewfinder, which received two awards: British Game and New Intellectual Property. The nugget Tchia was the winner of the Game beyond Entertainment prize. The beautiful British adventurer Lara Croft from Tomb Raider has finally received the well-deserved award for Most Iconic Video Game Character. Congratulations again to both the winners and the BAFTA nominees! Let’s hope that 2024 will be as rich, both for the players and for the actors of this fascinating industry.
