The Gamesforum Game Dev Showdown is arriving in London for the first time ever and developers from across the world are invited to apply to join the fun.

The showdown is taking place on the 25th January at the Etc Venue County Hall. Eight developers will get a chance to pitch their latest game and their business to a panel of five expert judges.

They’ll be judged on the quality of their game, the quality of their pitch and how they present their company.

And the winner will walk away with some epic swag and tips from our judges, as Pine Street Codeworks did when they won the first ever showdown in Seattle in October.

The contest is open to developers from all backgrounds and platforms, including console, PC, VR, AR, mobile and more.

Each studio that is accepted onto the showdown will receive complimentary passes to attend the event, as well as receiving some advice from our team on how to make the most of your pitch.
