BAFTA Games Awards 2025 : Black Myth: Wukong repart bredouille, voici le GOTY

Hier avait lieu la cérémonie des BAFTA Games Awards 2025, qui récompense les meilleurs jeux vidéo sortis l'année dernière. L'édition 2024 avait sacré Baldur's Gate III, mais cette édition 2025 promettait une belle bataille entre Black Myth: Wukong et ASTRO BOT, tandis que Senua's Saga: Hellblade II était nommé dans 11 catégories, mais pas dans celle pour le Meilleur Jeu.

Finalement, c'est le robot de PlayStation qui repart avec toutes les récompenses majeures, Black Myth: Wukong n'a remporté aucun prix, tandis que Senua's Saga: Hellblade II se console avec le prix de la Prouesse technique. Sans surprise, Balatro repart avec le prix du Meilleur premier jeu. La cérémonie a également récompensé la compositrice Yōko Shimomura pour l'ensemble de sa carrière (Mana, Kingdom Hearts, Mario and Luigi, Parasite Eve, Super Smash Bros. et tant d'autres). Voici les grands vainqueurs des BAFTA Games Awards 2025, indiqués en gras :

Les BAFTA n'ont pas manqué de récompenser la prestation des comédiens et comédiennes pour Still Wakes the Deep, ainsi que le délirant Thank Goodness You're Here!, un jeu d'aventure « so british ». Vous pouvez revivre la cérémonie en vidéo ci-dessus. Encore une fois, le CEO de Game Science Feng Ji se fait chiper le prix du GOTY par ASTRO BOT, mais vous pouvez acheter l'excellent Souls-like chinois contre 54,99 € sur Amazon, Cdiscount et Fnac.
