The nominations for this year's British Academy Game Awards have been announced, ahead of the ceremony itself which takes place on 6 April at east London's Tobacco Dock. Below is a complete list of the nominees.

Naughty Dog's PS4 exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has the most nominations with eight, including three in the Best Performer category. Playdead's celebrated puzzle platformer Inside has seven nominations, Blizzard multiplayer favourite Overwatch has five and The Last Guardian has four.

The categories are the same as for last year's ceremony, but some have been given new names. Best Story has become Best Narrative, Best Persistent Game is now Best Evolving Game and the Mobile & Handheld category is now just Best Mobile Game (though it still includes a Nintendo 3DS nominee).
