Peter Molyneux, the creator of some of the world’s most popular and acclaimed video games, will receive the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ Fellowship at this year’s GAME British Academy Video Games Awards.

On being invited to receive the Fellowship, Molyneux said: “I remember back in 1967 watching the first BAFTA awards on television with my family and seeing them being so excited about those accolades. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be possible for me to accept one of the greatest honours the entertainment industry has to offer.”

He added: “My first thought on learning that I was awarded an Academy Fellowship was that to be in the company of some of the greatest talents the entertainment industry has ever seen is truly humbling and secondly that this an award not just for myself, but for all the people I’ve ever worked with.”

The GAME British Academy Video Games Awards will take place on Wednesday 16 March at the London Hilton on Park Lane.

Molyneux hasn’t always been able to deliver on his lofty promises, but he’s always looked to create new experiences when others have been happy to churn out nothing more than iterations of what came before.
