It’s that time of year again for the BAFTA Games Awards, and to no one’s surprise, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II leads the way in nominations.
PlayStation Universe reports that the title not only leads all other nominees with 13 nominations, but those nominations are more than any other single game has ever received in the history of the awards.
The Last of Us Part II isn’t the only big nominee this year, as Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima is up for 10 categories, while Supergiant Games’ Hades is up for 9 awards. Valve’s Half-Life: Alyx and CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 have four nominations each, while Bethesda’s DOOM Eternal and Devolver Digital’s Carrion have two nominations, apiece.
This year’s BAFTA Games Awards will take place on Thursday, March 25, and will be streamed exclusively online through Twitch, YouTube, and Steam. You can check out the full list of nominees and their categories here.
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.
