Destiny is on a roll. The flashy online space shooter was named best game at last night's British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Games Awards, which celebrates the best games of the past year.
This is the fourth win for Destiny developer Bungie, whose previous wins have all been for games in Halo series, and comes after Destiny last week earned the trophy for best technology at the Game Developers Choice Awards.
"Thank you to BAFTA for the incredible honor, and as always, to our community of fans for your support!" Publisher Activision wrote in a blog post Thursday.
Other big winners at this year's BAFTA Games Awards included Monument Valley, which took home two awards: best British game and best mobile and handheld title, and The Last of Us: Left Behind, which won for story and performer, marking the second consecutive year Ashley Johnson has won a BAFTA for her role as Ellie.
Several other newbies also nabbed awards. Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna), an atmospheric platformer that explores the world of Alaska Native cultures, was named best debut game and Chambara, a game created by a team of student developers from the U.S., won the BAFTA "ones to watch" award.
Meanwhile, Lumino City, a puzzle adventure game, won in the artistic achievement category while first-person survival horror game Alien: Isolation nabbed the BAFTA for audio achievement. Far Cry 4 won the award for best music, the second win for the series after its predecessor won for action back in 2013.
Other winners included skateboarding game OlliOlli, which beat out all other sports titles; League of Legends, which was named best persistent game; Minecraft, which took top honors in the family category; and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, which collected the award for best multiplayer game.
In the game design category, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, a dynamic action game set within Tolkien's universe, earned the trophy while Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the story-driven detective mystery, won for game innovation. Valiant Hearts, an animated story inspired by letters sent during the First World War, won the BAFTA for best original property.
