Game
As usual, Game will feature a great mix of speakers from top AAA and indie studios worldwide.
Get PassesAnimex Game is a packed two day programme of talks from world class games studios including an evening event for you to network with the creators of some of your favourite games. Game started as a small one day event with around fifty places and has exploded into two days of talks from world class studios to audiences of nearly six hundred people spread across two venues. Over the years we have managed to attract some of the biggest and brightest talents in the business and this year will be no exception. Tickets often sell out long in advance of festival week, so make sure you get booked up as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. To see all of the presentations during Animex Game you will need an Animex Festival Pass or an Animex Game Pass. The names of our speakers will be released as soon as we receive final confirmations. Keep an eye on our news pages and Twitter feed for exciting updates as they happen.
