Eurogamer Expo, the UK’s biggest and best gaming festival, has sold over 20,000 tickets with more than two months until the show opens, putting ticket sales well ahead of forecasts based on last year’s sell-out event.
The Eurogamer Expo returns to London’s Earls Court from 27th-30th September 2012 and is expected to welcome over 50,000 gamers.
There will be over 1000 screens of playable gaming at this year’s Eurogamer Expo, including Assassin’s Creed III (Ubisoft), Resident Evil 6 (Capcom), Tomb Raider (Square Enix), Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Konami) and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Namco Bandai), with many more still to be announced – including a large number of UK first-plays.
“This is the biggest and best Eurogamer Expo we have ever put together and tickets are selling much faster than they have in previous years,” said David Lilley, Eurogamer Events Director. “We still have tons of amazing content announcements to make, but we recommend people pick up their tickets soon to avoid missing out.”
This year’s Eurogamer Expo will also feature its biggest ever Developer Sessions schedule, where some of the industry’s most famous names will present their work to the public and take questions on their progress.
The Eurogamer Expo will also play host to a dedicated PC zone, an Indie Games Arcade, a retro gaming area, regular tournaments with huge prizes, cosplay and community meet-ups, as well as the GamesIndustry Fair – a dedicated umbrella event for career sessions, games industry recruitment and the Games Invest summit.
