In April, the 20th year of the BAFTA Games Awards will take place, which is why the British Academy of Film and Television Arts has decided to publish a list of 60 titles that have been found to be the best this year. These are not nominations that will be announced until March 7, 2024, but it is from these already selected titles that the candidates for the award will be selected. More than 1,200 BAFTA members and experienced games industry professionals participated in the selection, with a total of 257 games released between 10 December 2022 and 24 November 2023 entered. The BAFTA Games Awards themselves will then take place on 11 April 2024.
“For 20 years, BAFTA has recognized tremendous talent in the games industry with the annual BAFTA Games Awards. This year, we hope to add to that celebration by releasing the Best Games of 2023 list – next year’s longlist as voted by gaming industry professionals – just in time to inspire gaming over the holidays,” she said of the previously uncommon release of the list. CEO BAFTA Jane Millichip. These 60 selected games seek at least one nomination within the 17 competition categories announced by BAFTA. In addition to the list, we also received clear summaries from BAFTA, who has the most irons in the fire and can already be considered an exceptional achievement. Rather unsurprisingly, Baldur’s Gate III reigns supreme here too with 15 notches, Alan Wake 2 has one less.
