Baldur's Gate 3 is grote winnaar van de BAFTA Games Awards 2024

De winnaars van de prestigieuze BAFTA Games Awards 2024 zijn bekend en niet geheel onverwacht steekt Baldur's Gate 3 van Larian Studios er met kop en schouders bovenuit. De trots van België sleept maar liefst vijf awards in de wacht, waaronder die voor Best Game.

Baldur's Gate 3 ging ook nog aan de haal met hoofdprijs in de categorieën Narrative, en Music, en won ook de EE Player's Choice Award, de enige categorie waarvoor het publiek kon stemmen. Andrew Wincott won Best Performer in a Supporting Role voor zijn rol van Raphael.

Naast Baldur's Gate 3 waren er nog enkele games die met meerdere prijzen aan de haal gingen. Alan Wake 2 won Audio Achievement en Artistic Achievement, terwijl Super Mario Bros. Wonder bovenaan eindigde in Multiplayer en Family. Puzzelspel Viewfinder won dan weer in de categorieën British Game en New Intellectual Property.
