Despite only gracing the gaming universe since its September 6 release, Starfield has swiftly garnered recognition for its creative excellence, securing nominations in the categories of New Intellectual Property, Technical Achievements, and Narrative.
The game stands among a constellation of 59 other titles in the BAFTA long list, which includes high-caliber contenders like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XVI. BAFTA members are set to cast their votes for Best Game and British Game, while the remaining categories will be deliberated by select juries.
