Control and Death Stranding lead BAFTA Games Awards 2020 nominations

• Death Stranding and Control lead with 11 nominations at the BAFTA Games Awards
• Hideo Kojima will receive the BAFTA Fellowship for his contributions to the field
• Other nominees include Disco Elysium, Life Is Strange 2 and Outer Wilds

In practically a mirror image of last year’s The Game Awards, Death Stranding and Control have picked up 11 nominations each at the BAFTA Games Awards 2020.  

Kojima Productions’ divisive title earned nominations in Music, Game Beyond Entertainment, Artistic Achievement, and three performer nods for Troy Baker, Norman Reedus and Lea Seydoux.  

The title also earned a nod in Debut Game alongside Ape Out and Knights and Bikes, which while technically correct, is a little odd considering Hideo Kojima’s history on the Metal Gear Solid franchise.  

Disco Elysium earned seven nominations, while Life Is Strange 2, Outer Wilds and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare all nabbed five each respectively.

This year’s ceremony will also award Hideo Kojima with the BAFTA Fellowship, previously given to the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto, Gabe Newell, Tim Schafer and more.  

The BAFTA Game Awards 2020 will be hosted by Dara O’Briain and take place at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London on 2nd April.
