'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,' 'Luigi's Mansion 3' and 'Disco Elysium' among the other titles with multiple nominations for the awards that take place in London on April 2.
Death Stranding, Control and Disco Elysium lead the 2020 crop of nominees for the BAFTA Games Awards.
Kojima Productions' Death Stranding grabbed 11 nominations including original property, debut game, music, game beyond entertainment, technical achievement, audio achievement, artistic achievement, animation as well as three performer nominations for stars Norman Reedus, Troy Baker and Lea Seydoux, respectively.
Remedy Entertainment's Control also had 11 nominations including best game, technical achievement, artistic achievement, narrative, original property, game design, music, animation, audio achievement and performer nominations for Courtney Hope and Martti Suosalo.
Both Death Stranding and Control's 11 nominations were the highest number of nominations for a game in the history of the BAFTA Games Awards.
Other titles with multiple nominations include ZA/UM's Disco Elysium with 7, Square Enix's Life Is Strange 2, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Annapurna Interactive's Outer Wilds all nabbing five nominations each. Foam Sword's Knights and Bikes, Panic's zeitgeisty Untitled Goose Game and Nintendo's Luigi's Mansion 3 got four nominations.
This year's edition of the awards features four new categories, including animation, technical achievement, performer in a leading role and performer in a supporting role.
BAFTA had previously announced that Japanese video game legend Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear series as well as Death Stranding, will be presented with a fellowship at the ceremony, the British Academy's highest honor.
The 2020 BAFTA Games Awards will be hosted by Irish comedian Dara O’Briain and take place April 2 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
