Sony Santa Monica's action game leads the pack with 10 mentions.
Mythical gods and outlaw cowboys lead the 2019 crop of nominees for the BAFTA Games Awards.
Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 and Sony Santa Monica's God of War are among the titles with the most nominations this year, along with indie games Return of the Obra Dinn and Florence. God of War — which has already won several game of the year awards, including at last year's Game Awards and last month's WGA Awards and D.I.C.E. Awards — leads the pack with 10 total noms, while Red Dead, Obra Dinn and Florence all scored six each.
The full list of nominees also includes fan-favorite titles such as Marvel's Spider-Man and Assassin's Creed Odyssey (up for game of the year) as well as indie hits like Donut County and Yoku's Island Express.
Epic Games' blockbuster Battle Royale shooter Fortnite is nominated in two categories: evolving game and the fan-voted mobile game of the year.
Interestingly, God of War's voice cast earned four separate mentions (Christopher Judge, Sunny Suljic, Jeremy Davies and Danielle Bisutti), dominating the category, while Red Dead only secured a nom for lead Roger Clark. Melissanthi Mahut of Assassin's Creed Odyssey rounds out the category.
The 2019 BAFTA Games Awards will be handed out April 4 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
