Hades Wins Best Game At BAFTA Game Awards 2021

The BAFTA Game Awards have wrapped up and Hades was awarded the biggest award of the night. Developer Supergiant Games beat out stiff competition from some of the biggest AAA games of the year.

For Best Game, Hades was up against Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Ghost of Tsushima, Half-Life: Alyx, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and The Last of Us Part II. Hades took home four awards in total.

The Last of Us Part II snagged three awards: one for Animation, another for Performer in a Leading Role, and a final for the newly minted EE Game of the Year trophy (an award in partnership with the British Academy Games Awards and voted on by the public). Ghost of Tsushima also picked up one for Audio Achievement.

Other winners include Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Carrion, Dreams, Miles Morales, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. The full list of winners and nominees is outlined below, with the winners of each category bolded.
