Image source, SandfallImage caption, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already won multiple awardsByTom RichardsonBBC NewsbeatPublished12 March 2026 This year's Bafta Games Awards nominations have been released, and the unstoppable Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the front-runner once again. The role-playing adventure, made by French developer Sandfall Interactive, received 12 nominations in total, including best game, best music and best narrative. Having already swept the board at several video game award ceremonies, Expedition 33 was widely expected to feature heavily in this year's Bafta list. But, in a ceremony which aims to celebrate multimillion-dollar productions and independent games made by tiny teams, there are also some surprising inclusions and omissions. Expedition 33's 12 nominations is not a record for Bafta. In 2023, God of War Ragnarok was up for 14 awards – although it lost out on best game to independent game Vampire Survivors. The remaining best game nominees include superhero adventure Dispatch, which got nine nominations in total.
