Uncharted 4 Nominated For Eight BAFTA Awards, See The Full List Here
The nominations for the 2017 game BAFTAs have been revealed, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End leads the way after being shortlisted for eight awards. Naughty Dog's PlayStation 4 exclusive is in the hat for Best Narrative, Artistic Achievement, Best Game, and more. Its stars, Nolan North (Nathan Drake), Troy Baker (Sam Drake), and Emily Rose (Elena Fisher) are all up for Best Performer.
Playdead's Limbo follow-up, Inside, is close behind Uncharted 4 with seven nominations, while Firewatch, Overcooked, Overwatch, The Witness, The Last Guardian, and more are also recognised in multiple categories by the British Academy.
The big award of the night is of course Best Game, which recognises the very best the industry had to offer in the past year. The 2017 nominees are: Firewatch, Inside, Overwatch, Stardew Valley, Titanfall 2, and Uncharted 4. Last year's winner was Bethesda's Fallout 4, while Bungie took home the award in 2015 for Destiny.
Another big category is Best British Game, which this year could be won by Batman: Arkham VR, Forza Horizon 3, No Man's Sky, Overcooked, theme park sim Planet Coaster, or first-person mystery title Virginia.
This year's ceremony, which will be hosted by Thomas Was Alone and Volume star Danny Wallace, takes place in London on April 6. It will be livestreamed on Twitch, and if you can't tune in, GameSpot will keep you up-to-date with all the winners. In the meantime, take a look at the full nominations list below.
