Polish Game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Awarded by BAFTA
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter – a Polish video game created by The Astronauts studio – was awarded by The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). The production has beaten its rivals in the Game Innovation category.
Once again, the BAFTA has presented awards to the world’s best video games. The British Academy's games awards are one of the most prestigious recognitions a game can get. This year, a gold statuette was presented to a Polish production.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was nominated in three categories, Debut Game, Original Property and Game Innovation, and won gold in the latter category. The game competed against five other productions: 80 days, Alien: Isolation, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Titanfall and Lumino City. Adam Bryla, a graphic artist from The Astronauts studio, collected the statuette on behalf of the team.
The winner of Best Game was Destiny, a high budget Activision production. Nonetheless, it was Monument Valley that received the most awards at 2015 BAFTA games; the independent production won gold in Mobile & Handheld and British Game categories.
The Astronauts is a small manufacturer of independent games established in 2012. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is the studio’s first production, yet has already met with praises from buyers and critics. Next to This War of Mine, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was one of the most important Polish game premieres of 2014.
