Eurogamer Expo

Yorkshire will host the UK’s major video-games festival on 27th and 28th October to debut at The Royal Armouries in Leeds. Thousands of Yorkshire video-gamers will get a chance to play the latest game releases before anyone else in the UK. Screen Yorkshire and Game Republic have partnered with Eurogamer to ensure 4,000 games enthusiasts will be able to sample games that won’t be released until Christmas 2009 and Spring 2010. Taking place alongside the Expo is the GamesIndustry.biz Career Fair, the UK’s premier recruitment event for the games industry and a number of Yorkshire’s leading games companies will be exhibiting and giving careers advice.

This year’s Eurogamer Expo is sponsored by hmv, who are also the show’s official retail partner, meaning that gamers will be able to buy games at the event as well as play them. The Eurogamer Expo is about putting the best games in the hands of gamers. Many publishers have already signed up to exhibit their biggest titles of this Christmas and beyond, and these will be announced over the coming months.

The website for the 2009 event is live now at http://expo.eurogamer.net, where tickets are already on sale, priced at £6 per day.
