‘Control’ And ‘Death Stranding’ Battle For This Year’s BAFTA Awards
It seems Control and Death Stranding are destined to fight once again. After The Game Awards 2019, the 2020 DICE Awards and the upcoming 2020 GDC Awards (which may in fact be postponed), Remedy’s Control and Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding again lead the pack this year in nominations for the 2020 BAFTA Awards.
Both titles are nominated for eleven awards each, which is the most nominations since the BAFTA Awards began in 2004. Disco Elysium ranks up there with seven nominations, while Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Luigi’s Mansion 3 have four nominations each.
For those disappointed that A Plague Tale: Innocence wasn’t given its due, it’s been nominated for Technical Achievement.
The winners will be announced on April 2, 2020, and you’ll be able to tune into BAFTA’s Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube channels to watch the show. Also at the show, Hideo Kojima will receive the BAFTA Fellowship on the night.
Head to the official BAFTA site to check out the rest of the nominees.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
