The 20th British Academy Games Awards (BAFTA Game Awards 2024) ceremony took place on April 11, 2024, celebrating the gaming triumphs of 2023. Held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, comedian Phil Wang kept the night lively. The biggest champion of the evening was Baldur’s Gate 3, taking home the coveted gongs for Best Game, Narrative, and Music. This richly detailed RPG clearly captivated the judges.
This prestigious ceremony, often referred to as the BAFTAs, highlighted the industry’s creative diversity with a record-breaking 40 titles vying for honours across 18 categories. The ceremony also recognized the incredible work of UK charity SpecialEffect, awarding them the prestigious Special Award.
Nintendo also enjoyed a stellar night. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder triumphed in their respective categories, proving the enduring power of the iconic franchise. However, despite its impressive nine nods, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 could only swing away with a single award, highlighting the fierce competition within the industry.
Beyond Baldur’s Gate 3’s dominance, the ceremony saw a delightful spread of winners. Remedy Entertainment walked away with two awards โ Artistic Achievement and Audio Achievement โ for the highly anticipated Alan Wake 2. Viewfinder, a surprise contender, garnered double the honours, securing both the New Intellectual Property and Best British Game categories.
The 2024 BAFTAs solidified their position as a defining night for the gaming industry. It was a ceremony that celebrated established giants, rising stars, and the sheer creativity that continues to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment and here is the complete list of winners.
