Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice win 5 Gaming BAFTAs

Last Night, BAFTA hosted the British Academy Gaming Awards, the UK’s annual ceremony which celebrates achievements in video games, acting as a counterpart to their TV and Film awards to cover the growing games industry. 

During this event Ninja Theory quickly became the night’s big winner, claiming five categories which include Artistic Achievement, Audio Achievement, British Game, Game Beyond Entertainment and Best Performer. In total Ninja Theory won almost a third of the ceremony’s 16 game-specific awards. 

At the event, Tim Schafer of Double Fine Entertainment also won one of BAFTA’s highest awards, a Fellowship, a “lifetime achievement” award. Previously this same award has been given to John Carmack, David Braben, Peter Molyneux, Gabe Newell and Rockstar Games (as an entity).
