Boris Johnson in Minecraft for Games Festival Announcement
Yes that's right the moppy dog haired Mayor of London who once said Video games rot the brain is now fronting an announcement of a Video Games festival in London.
EGX Rezzed are on board with the festival taking place this April 1-11 and there will be other talks and festivities as well.
Will you be going to EGX Rezzed in London come April? Especially after EGX moved to Birmingham.
Read some blurb below,
Ukie and Film London launch ‘Games London’ to promote the UK’s wider games sector and make London the world’s games capital
Mayor of London features in Minecraft, launching new initiative with £1.2m investment from the London Enterprise Panel
London Games Festival, a major new consumer, cultural and business event for the global industry, to take place from 1-10 April 2016
London’s games and interactive entertainment industry is set for a £1.2m boost with the launch of Games London, a ground breaking new programme to make the city the games capital of the world, tapping into a market that globally is worth around $81bn.
Funded by the London Enterprise Panel (LEP), Games London is being delivered by Film London, the capital’s strategic agency for film and media, and games trade body Ukie and will build on recent growth in the games sector, which generated £2.8bn in revenue in 2015.
The three year programme will capitalise on the Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR), which was introduced in 2014. It will attract investment to the UK and help businesses based in the capital generate £35million in new revenue, adding nearly £10million, as well as creating hundreds of jobs and boosting skills and training.
