BAFTA Games Awards 2025 : Black Myth: Wukong va pouvoir prendre sa revanche sur Astro Bot

Il n'y a pas que les Game Awards qui récompensent les meilleurs jeux vidéo, la plupart des cérémonies attendent d'ailleurs logiquement le début d'année pour décerner des prix. En avril, nous avons rendez-vous avec les BAFTA Games Awards, organisés par les British Academy Film Awards. Les nommés viennent d'être dévoilés.

Si Senua's Saga: Hellblade II est nommé 11 fois, il ne prétend même pas au prestigieux prix du Jeu de l'Année. Il devra dans tous les cas faire attention à Astro Bot et Still Wakes the Deep (huit nominations chacun), Thank Goodness You’re Here (sept nominations pour ce jeu anglais à l'humour 100 % british), Black Myth: Wukong (six nominations) et Helldivers 2 (cinq nominations). D'ailleurs, dans les nommés pour le GOTY 2025, Black Myth: Wukong se retrouve encore face à Astro Bot, le Souls-like chinois arrivera-t-il à avoir sa revanche, pour le plus grand plaisir du CEO Feng Ji ? Réponse dans un mois.

Pour rappel, les BAFTA Games Awards aiment récompenser des jeux qui ne sont pas forcément des AAA, le prix du GOTY a été décerné ces dernières années à Outer Wilds (2020), Hades (2021), Returnal (2022) et Vampire Survivors (2023), Baldur's Gate 3 avait évidemment remporté le trophée en 2024. Qui lui succédera en 2025 ? Nous le saurons le 8 avril prochain.

Vous pouvez acheter Black Myth: Wukong à 54,99 € sur Amazon, Cdiscount et Fnac.
