Roucan Events & Content are delighted to announce a new event for 2023, WASD x IGN. It will fall in the post-gamescom window of 14-16th September to show and amplify pre-release, brand new and always on games.
Bringing together the two best elements of both brands - the indie spirit of WASD and the blockbuster powerhouse of IGN - the event will showcase a giant collection of new, current and retro games in a larger space in the Truman Brewery.
With a packed slate, September is the perfect window to provide a great line-up of top new products ready to be unleashed on an ever-hungry UK market.
You can expect to see many big franchises at the event plus;
• Hundreds of screens of playable games
• Full coverage of the event across IGN platforms
• Great playable and hands-off features
• Community features and gatherings
• WASD Careers providing great insight into how to get a job in games
• Great new curiosities in WASD Curios
• Let’s Plays from favourite creators
• All the best - and some of the worst - retro games
• The biggest industry gathering in the Autumn
• Fun tournaments
• Showcases of new technology and possibly a robot!
We’re excited to present this new event in the best window for new first-plays in the UK, said Event Director and Roucan Co-Founder Matt Styles. “David and I have a proven history of delivering mainstream and independent games events in the UK and we’re confident this is the right event in the right timeline with the right support from the industry.
Michael Peyton, IGN’s Director of Events and Partnerships said, “We’re excited to wrap up the Summer events season with WASD X IGN. Coming on the heels of IGN’s Summer of Gaming 2023 and gamescom, we’re looking forward to a lot of great gaming content live in the heart of London.”
