Africa Games Week is all set to start from today February 23 up until the 25th where it will feature big companies such as Xbox, PlayStation, Ubisoft, Unity, Sega Devolver, Landfall and many others.
The event is where over 150 developers come together, meet, and plan for future projects. The event will remain hybrid, live at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town and virtually on the event platform.
Founder of the event, Rex Bowden had this to say,
Africa Games Week 2022 is bringing together core Gaming industry and community representatives; creators, developers and publishers; from across Africa to meet and connect over 3 days. Our program focuses on creating more personal opportunities for connection and knowledge-sharing between the greatest minds in the African gaming industry; another reason going fully virtual in 2021 would have detracted from the event’s value. We hope this will foster partnerships in the growth of the African Game Dev industry locally and internationally.
About Africa Games Week:
AFRICA GAMES WEEK is the largest gathering of African game developers, exporters and leaders in the world and this year is pushing the boundaries to make sure the African industry is meeting and building a community to develop the industry. The AFRICAN GAME INDUSTRY has recently had a massive boost of interest with new co-production treaties, and new studios and education facilities being launched which is super exciting for the future.
The event is the industry curated event that strives to shine a spotlight on the creatives and businesses rising around Africa. Our mandate is to Discover, Engage, Connect and Expose the amazing talents and opportunities that exist and we can only do that by developing a community of African Game Industry representatives that can lead the narrative. This year the AFRICA GAMES WEEK is dynamically focused on developing relationships between the industry and it verticals and hosts 3 key Conferences under its banner including; MAKE GAMES AFRICA, Games for Change Africa and Africa StreamCon.
