Manca meno di un mese alla cerimonia di premiazione dei BAFTA Games Awards 2020 che si terrà il prossimo 2 aprile alla Qeen Elizabeth Hall di Londra ed ecco svelate le nomination per le 18 categorie.
Death Stranding e Control dominano per il loro numero con 11 nomination a testa ma se Control potrà competere per il titolo più prestigioso (Miglior Gioco), Death Stranding si dovrà accontentare di cercare gloria in categorie diverse.
Da segnalare le 7 nomination di Disco Elysium, straordinario RPG firmato dal team indie Za/UM al suo titolo d’esordio. Non male. Noi lo abbiamo premiato più volte, non ultimo come gioco dell’anno (assieme ad Assetto Corsa Competizione). Da segnalare anche le cinque nomination a testa per Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Life is Strange 2 (episodi 2-5) e Outer Wilds.
Bando alle ciance, ecco le nomination categoria per categoria ricordandovi che l’evento organizzato dalla British Academy of Film and Television Arts sarà ospitato da Dara O’Briain e sarà trasmesso in streaming live su Facebook, Twitch, Twitter e YouTube.
