BAFTA.

After an early access launch for Vampire Survivors almost instantly became a hit, throwing players into pixelated dungeons to mow down thousands of night creatures, while stacking up on perks such as bibles and garlic to keep them away. Funnily enough, despite the game's key art and title mentioning them, none of the monsters or playable characters are actually vampires.

Continuing his run from Laya Deleon Hayes, who played Angrboda the Jötunn, secured one for Best Performer in a ing Role.

Surprisingly, God of War Ragnarök also stole the award for Audio Achievement from Game of the Year trophy at The Game Awards 2022 and at the DICE Awards, last month.
