Blockbuster God Of War Ragnarok took the lion's share of the awards while George RR Martin collaboration Elden Ring won two gongs, but it was indie shoot 'em up Vampire Survivors that took the biggest prize of the night for best video game.
- a collaboration with Game Of Thrones creator George RR Martin - took two awards - best multiplayer and best original property.
According to Statista the gaming industry is estimated to reach $396bn worldwide in 2023, often out-performing blockbuster films and platinum records. This year’s ceremony reflected that growth with a widely viewed ceremony on streaming site Twitch, as well as attention from the mainstream media. The industry promotes and employs thousands of actors, artists, writers, composers, coders, producers and directors, and the BAFTA Game Awards successfully pitted indie studios against A-list publishers.
Vampire Survivors - described by the team who came along to collect their prize as"frolics and fighting", also won best game design. Rollerdrome - an action game which mixes roller-skating tricks and fighting with multiple weapons - won best British game. Partly inspired by films Rollerball and Running Man, the team have likened it to"Doom on roller skates".
