2022 BAFTA Games Awards Nominees Announced

While 2022 is looking like a very big year for video games, 2021 is going to be a hard year to top. A number of terrific games were released throughout the year, including hits like Halo Infinite, Resident Evil Village, and Metroid Dread. On April 7th, the British Academy Games Awards will pay tribute to these titles and a whole lot more. Today, the group announced the candidates for 16 different categories. Regular followers of the BAFTA Games Awards will notice that two categories are conspicuously missing this year: Performer in a Leading Role and Performer in a Supporting Role. Nominees for those two categories will be revealed "in the coming weeks."

It will be interesting to see which games end up taking which categories! There are a lot of really strong games nominated this year, including several that won awards at The Game Awards. While the following categories have a lot of big name releases nominated, there are just as many titles that may have flown under the radar. Keep reading to see the full list of categories and their nominees!
