British Academy Games Award for Intellectual Property
The British Academy Video Games Award for New Intellectual Property is an award presented annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. It is given in honor to "the best game which is not part of an established series and represents a new intellectual property".
The award was first presented at the 2nd British Academy Games Awards as Originality, after which the category was discontinued. It was revived in 2015 at the 11th edition, when it was presented as Original Property. The category received its current name at the 20th British Academy Games Awards.:
To date, no developer has won this award more that once. Nintendo EAD are the only developers with two nominations in the category and therefore have the most nominations without a win. Among publishers, Sony Interactive Entertainment has a leading eight nominations and two wins, tied with Annapurna Interactive for most wins. Devolver Digital has the most nominations without a win, with five.
The current holder of the award is Still Wakes the Deep by The Chinese Room and Secret Mode, which won at the 21st British Academy Games Awards in 2025.
