Gamers, boot up your engines

Welcome to the 2024 Bafta Game Awards, the UK video game industry’s night of nights.
As the stereotype goes, we gamers see very little of the sun, but it is beaming this afternoon as we set up for the BAFTA Game Awards red carpet.
There are some truly incredible games in the running tonight, including heavyweights Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as well as some brilliant new faces behind breakout releases Dave the Diver, Dredge and Lethal Company.
Shortly, we’ll hear from our colleagues reporting live from the red carpet, where the game developers are looking very dapper, having swapped their jeans and sneakers for suits and frocks (well, some of them have).
We are in for a great night, so stick with us as we take you all the way through to the end screen!
