The coronavirus continues to affect video game events. In this case, we get news about the BAFTA Games Awards.
According to what has been shared, those responsible have decided to cancel the traditional award ceremony. Instead they will offer a live over the Internet where all the information planned for the gala will be shared.
Amid growing concerns about the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the number of nominees due to travel from abroad, we have made the decision to change the format of next month's awards to a red carpet ceremony at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London to a live online broadcast, to be broadcast worldwide the same day (Thursday, April 2).
The health and well-being of our guests and our staff remain our top priority, so there will be no audience and we are now in the process of informing all of our nominees, guests, partners and providers of the change. The new format will include the announcement of the award winners and we hope to share more updates in the coming weeks.
As you can see, the date remains: April 2. It is expected that the live show can be followed through streaming platforms such as YouTube or Twitch, although for the moment they have not specified anything else.
We will be attentive to more details; meanwhile, we leave you with the link to your official website And we remind you of the list of nominees, among which we find several Nintendo games.
