No BAFTA Games Awards for 2008

Thursday, 17th April 2008 at 1:14 pm

The BAFTA Games Awards will not take place this year – but may return in 2009.

MCV understands that the team behind the event’s recent success has recognised that the show is too close to the busy Christmas period, which means that some publishers will be unable to submit game code for the judging process.

In the past this has meant that some key titles have been notably absent from the prestigious awards.

To address this, it is understood that BAFTA is now looking at a new date for the awards.
