La British Academy for Film and Television Arts ha rivelato le nomination in vista dei BAFTA Game Awards di quest'anno. God of War di Santa Monica Studio guida il gruppo con ben 10 candidature, tra cui Best Game Award, Artistic Achievement, Audio Achievement, Game Design, Music e Narrative.
Il gioco si è portato a casa quattro nomination anche nella categoria Performer, grazie all'apporto di Christopher Judge nei panni di Kratos, Danielle Bisuitti in quelli di Freya, Jeremy Davies nel ruolo dello Straniero e Sunny Suljic per quello di Atreus. In questa specifica categoria gli unici altri candidati sono Melissanth Mahut (Kassandra di Assassin's Creed Odyssey) e Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2).
Red Dead Redemption 2 segue con sei candidature, così come i titoli indie Return of the Obra Dinn e Florence. Troviamo poi Celeste a quota cinque nomination, inclusa quella nella categoria Game Beyond Entertainment.
