Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 appears to be leading the 2025 BAFTA Game Awards nominations. The full list of nominees were revealed yesterday, confirming Hellblade 2’s lead with 11 total nominations, though it misses the coveted Best Game category. Elsewhere, Astro Bot, Black Myth: Wukong, Balatro, Still Wakes The Deep and Helldivers 2 also appear in multiple categories.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 had somewhat of a successful run during the gaming awards season, capping off its biggest wins at The Game Awards back in December where it won Best Performance for Melina Juergens and Best Audio Design. The game, developed by UK studio Ninja Theory, now leads the 2025 BAFTA Game Awards in nominations across several artistic and technical categories. Have a look at the full list of nominees below.
