Neil Newbon Wins Best Performance At The Game Awards 2023
Neil Newbon also won the 'Best Performance' award at the Golden Joystick awards earlier in the year. His portrayal of Astarion has really resonated with players worldwide. Astarion is one of the six origin characters in Baldur's Gate 3, a vampire spawn with a history of trauma.
The awards was presented by Christopher Judge (Kratos Actor), who won the award last year. After some humorous jokes about how long his speech was at The Game Awards 2022, it seemed like Neil Newbon's celebration was cut a bit short tonight. Nonetheless, we definitely agree that Astarion was one of the best written characters to come out of the gaming world this year.
That is everything you need to know about the 'Best Performance' award at The Game Awards 2023. One of many expected awards to go the team at Larian Studios for their fantastic work on Baldur's Gate 3! If you are interested in other nominees and winners from The Game Awards 2023, click here!
