God of War Ragnarök won the most awards at this year’s BAFTA Games Awards, but lost out on the Best Game award, which was instead won by Vampire Survivors.
God of War Ragnarök was the most nominated game in BAFTA’s history, with 14 nominations in total.
Ultimately, it took home six of these awards, including EE Game of the Year (the only award on the night voted for by the general public) and both the performance awards, for Performer in a Supporting Role and Performer in a Leading Role.
But it was Vampire Survivors which won Best Game, as well as Best Design.
Elden Ring and Tunic were the other multi-award winners, with each receiving two awards.
Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida was honoured with the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship, which is the highest accolade that can be bestowed by the Academy and has previously been given to such creators as Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, David Attenborough, Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorcese.
Other past video game recipients of the Fellowship have included Shigeru Miyamoto (the first Asian citizen to receive the award), Hideo Kojima, Nolan Bushnell, Peter Molyneux, Gabe Newell, David Braben, John Carmack, Tim Schafer, Siobhan Reddy and Rockstar Games as a whole.
