BAFTA's 2025 Games Awards longlist is here! Check out the contenders for this year's prestigious awards.
58 Games from 247 Submissions
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has announced its longlist for the 2025 BAFTA Games Awards. A remarkable 58 games, spanning various genres, are in the running across 17 categories. This selection comes from a comprehensive review of 247 titles released between November 25, 2023, and November 15, 2024.
The final nominations will be revealed on March 4, 2025, with the awards ceremony taking place on April 8, 2025.
Best Game Contenders: A Top Ten
The coveted "Best Game" award has a strong lineup of contenders:
- ANIMAL WELL
- Astro Bot
- Balatro
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
- Helldivers 2
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
- Thank Goodness You’re Here!
- Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Following Baldur's Gate 3's six-award sweep in 2024 (from ten nominations), this year's competition promises to be equally fierce.
Notable Omissions from the Best Game Category
While many titles are included in the overall longlist, some notable 2024 releases are absent from the Best Game category. This includes Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and Silent Hill 2. This is due to BAFTA's eligibility rules, which exclude remasters, remakes, and DLC released outside the eligibility period. While ineligible for "Best Game," these titles remain contenders in other categories such as Music, Narrative, and Technical Achievement.
The full BAFTA Games Awards longlist, including category breakdowns, is available on the official BAFTA website.
