This year's Games Fest is shaping up to be the biggest ever!
Even more content has now been added to the recently announced Games Fest which will be returning to Portsmouth Guildhall on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September.
Adding to an exciting library of Board Gaming with Dice Portsmouth and Retro Arcade Gaming with Game Over, will be a range of gaming options from some of the most historic to the most modern!
St Vincent College with their resident Esports team St Vincent Sharks, return to Games Fest (day sessions only) with an array of Esport activities and entertainment. Competing in matches in Overwatch 2 and Rocket League, attendees will have the chance to take on St Vincent’s Shiver whilst finding out more about the Esports industry, its growth and trying out some of the games available to the college’s students and those competing in the British Esports Student Championships.
Continuing the modern theme, gamers will have the chance to demo brand new games from some of the most exciting developer talent in an Indie Gaming Zone. Partisan, Entombed and Chupito are just some of the new game concepts that are set to be trialled.
Contemporary South Asian games will be presented by Bridges not Borders. An Arts Council England funded art and literature project to build bridges locally, nationally and internationally through South Asian art and literature, will give people the chance to try out games including Chaupar, Carrom or Snakes and Ladders.
For fans of the fantasy tabletop role-play game, Dungeons and Dragons, The Three Dungeoneers will be celebrating the big 50 with a selection of introductory adventures. Condensed into 90 minute time slots, attendees will be able to get a taste of the DND phenomenon.
And for the most retro of games, join the Mary Rose and try your hand at a range of Tudor games and archery and learn more about life on board King Henry VIII’s flagship.
