Yorkshire Games Festival 2020 ended on 9 February 2020. For details of our current events and exhibitions, take a look at our what’s on page.
The festival of videogames returned for a fourth fantastic year, with special guests, family fun and lots of ways to learn.
Festival attendees heard Game Talks from studios such as King, Crows Crows Crows, Bithell Games and nDreams. Favourites such as the Northern Games Showcase returned for the Let’s Play! family weekend, alongside a big-screen esports tournament and a panel discussion on young people’s gaming habits. The Young Developers Conference offered learning packages, a teacher/parent workshop and autism friendly sessions.
