The BAFTA Games Awards 2022 are coming up next month, and the first wave of nominees has been revealed for the prestigious gaming gongs.
Choosing games that “resonated most with players around the world, entertained them and captured their imaginations” was the order of business for the team of gaming experts in charge of choosing which games would get nominated in this first category.
Only six could be in the final list, which means that there are certainly some notable omissions. That being said, we have ended up with a solid six and we will learn in April which one will be crowned the winner.
But what games have been nominated, how do we vote and where can we watch the BAFTA Games Awards? All that has been answered below!
When are the BAFTA Games Awards 2022?
The BAFTA Game Awards 2022 are set to take place on Thursday 7th April 2022, the organisers have confirmed nice and early. There’s not long left at all to wait then. Time to start dusting off your tux.
