Here are all the 2021 BAFTA Games Award Nominees
The 2021 BAFTA Games Award Nominees have finally been revealed, including well-loved games like The Last of Us Part II and Animal Crossing, as well as indie darlings like Kentucky Route Zero and Hades.
The Last of Us Part II has been sweeping the feet out of almost every other game around, racking up an impressive amount of Game of the Year awards from last year, and now it’s achieved 13 BAFTA nominations. As Eurogamer rightly points out, that’s the most for any single game in the history of the BAFTA awards.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean Naughty Dog’s latest game will win each nomination. There’s a whole lot of nominees out there, and a ton of categories. So, without further ado, here’s a full list of the 2021 BAFTA Games Award Nominees.
