Bafta Games Awards 2021: Results in full as Hades proves the night’s biggest surprise winner

The Last of Us Part II and Animal Crossing: New Horizons were also among the winning games

The results of the 2021 Games Baftas have been announced, with the Nintendo Switch action game Hades proving the night’s big winner.

Awards were handed out during a ceremony that was streamed virtually last night (25 March), and hosted by Elle Osili-Wood.

Naughty Dog’s harrowing sequel The Last of Us Part II had been the frontrunner since the nominations were announced, picking up a record-breaking 13 nods.

However, on the night, it took home just three awards: Animation and Performer in a Leading Role (for Laura Bailey) as well as the EE Game of the Year Award, which is voted for by the public.

Hades took home Best Game, Artistic Achievement, Game Design and Narrative, while voice actor Logan Cunningham took home the award for Performer in a Supporting Role.
