Black Myth: Wukong dramatically overlooked in favour of Xbox 'flop' at the BAFTA Game Awards 2025
Briefly

The BAFTA Game Awards 2025 nominations highlight Senua's Saga: Hellblade II as a frontrunner with 11 nominations, including Best Animation and Artistic Achievement. Despite being perceived as overlooked at launch, its impressive visuals may lead to significant wins. Competing titles like Astro Bot and indie hit Still Wakes the Deep have garnered 8 nominations each, with Astro Bot expected to excel in Best Game. Predictions indicate Senua's Saga may dominate categories related to visual and technical prowess, setting a competitive scene for the awards slated for 8 April 2025.
One of the most visually impressive games I've played, Ninja Theory's cinematic Xbox release felt overlooked on release last year, but with 11 nominations, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II could win big.
Astro Bot was Sony's biggest release of 2024 despite being a fairly low-budget game, while indie game Still Wakes the Deep showcased how Unreal Engine 5 can aid small teams.
It looks like Astro Bot is set to win Best Game and Best Game Design, but Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is likely to excel in visual design and technical achievement.
Other games expected to do well at this year's BAFTA Game Awards 2025 include Black Myth: Wukong with six nominations, Helldivers II with five and others.
