The British Academy Games Awards nominees for the year have been announced, with a list of 45 games nominated in a broad range of categories. One of the new categories this year is the Game Beyond Entertainment award that honours games “that deliver a transformational experience beyond pure entertainment.” Sounds like an award made to give Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice some gold.

It may get more than that. Ninja Theory’s self-published game leads the pack with nine nominations, including best game. Horizon: Zero Dawn follows with eight nominations. What Remains of Edith Finch comes in with six, while our own game of the year from 2017, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, has five nominations.

The actual awards will be held in April, hosted once again by Dara O’Briain. Here’s the full list of nominations.
