Zelda, Baldur's Gate 3 and Spider-Man 2 are among the frontrunners at this year's ceremony
It's time once again for the big names of the gaming industry to gather for the Bafta Games Awards, which will be held in London later.
Bafta - the British Academy of Film and Television - is an arts charity primarily known for its film and TV awards, but it has also been celebrating UK gaming talent since 2003.
Call of Duty - yes, the original one - won Best Game, with awards also going to titles like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Metroid Prime.
The 2024 Bafta Games Special Award, given to those who have made outstanding contributions to games, has been given to UK charity SpecialEffect for its work since 2007 helping disabled people access gaming.
Baldur's Gate 3 has cleaned up at other award ceremonies already, but in previous years, Bafta has been known to throw up a bit of a surprise when it comes to the winner of Best Game.
The British Game award is being fought by studios across the length of the UK. Brighton-based Bytten Studio has been nominated for Pokemon-like Cassette Beasts, and Scottish studio Sad Owl is nominated for puzzle game Viewfinder.
As well as being up for Best Game, Baldur's Gate 3 also dominates the performance categories and Samantha Béart, nominated for her performance as Karlach, told the BBC it was "Extremely exciting" to be up for a Bafta.
Eligible games had to have been published before 24 November 2023 - so if you're wondering why games like deck-builder Balatro and city-builder Against The Storm haven't been nominated, it's because they were published too recently to qualify.
"I guess I'm most looking forward to seeing all these insanely creative, skilled, hardworking people in a room together," he told the BBC. "I mean, video games have always been such a vital part of my life and yet I've never really met the people behind them."I'm really looking forward to celebrating the industry, the games industry, the creativity that goes into the hard work and ingenuity and the technical skill and also seeing video games as an art form alongside film and TV.".
"I started SpecialEffect not only to help individuals to play video games but also to collaborate with the games industry to make their games more accessible at source," he said.
