Baldur’s Gate 3 has triumphed at the BAFTA Games Awards in the UK, securing a total of 5 awards for Outstanding Game, Outstanding Narrative, Outstanding Music, Outstanding Supporting Performer (Andrew Wincott as Raphael), and Player’s Choice for Popular Game.
BAFTA, also known as the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, is a prestigious institution in the UK, equivalent to the Oscars in the US. The organization has been honoring video games since 2004, marking 20 years of recognizing excellence in the gaming industry.
It comes as no surprise that Baldur’s Gate 3 has received accolades for its outstanding achievements. What sets it apart is being the first game to sweep 5 major awards from renowned institutions:
– Golden Joystick Awards in November 2023
– The Game Awards in December 2023
– D.I.C.E. Awards in February 2024
– Game Developer Choice Awards in March 2024
– BAFTA Games Awards in April 2024
Since the inception of The Game Awards in 2014, no game had accomplished this feat of winning Best Game from all 5 institutions. Among the closest contenders are:
– The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, winning all but BAFTA (losing to What Remains of Edith Finch)
– God of War reboot in 2018, sweeping all but Golden Joystick Awards (losing to Fortnite)
– Elden Ring, claiming all except BAFTA (lost to Vampire Survivors)
