Housemarque’s hit Returnal has bagged another four awards at the 2022 BAFTA Game Awards. The game was nominated in four categories, and took home trophies for Best Game, Audio Achievement, and Music. Actress Jane Perry, who portrayed protagonist Selene, won an award for Performer in a Leading Role.
