But there have been some surprises in there, too – in true BAFTA model. Ghost of Yōtei profitable greatest music over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for instance, got here as one thing of a shock. Daredevil star Charlie Cox did not get the prospect to large up the Fench movement seize performer behind Clair Obscur’s Gustave (something he almost certainly would have done had he won best performer in a supporting role).

That went to Jeffrey Wright, who performed Chase in Dispatch. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 misplaced out to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II in the very best narrative class, and to Microsoft’s South of Midnight within the New Intellectual Property class, too. Sandfall Interactive will not be too down, nevertheless; the French studio received greatest Debut Game, and Jennifer English, recent from her large The Game Awards 2025 win, continued her run by taking residence the very best Performer in a Leading Role award for her efficiency as Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
