AnotheReality among the Italian development studios present at the London Games Festival 2019 – From April 2nd to 14th, the third edition of the London Games Festival (#LGF19) is taking place in London, the most important event for the video game and interactive entertainment industry in the United Kingdom.

For the first time in history, thanks to AESVI, ICE Agency, and the Ministry of Economic Development, the event has also opened its doors to Italian studios that have been independently dedicated to the research and development of video games for years, including our AnotheReality.

Supported by the City of London and organized in multiple locations, the event offers significant opportunities for industry professionals: publishers, investors, and development funds are the protagonists of the numerous scheduled meetings.

Representing Italy’s gaming industry, a delegation of 13 development and production studios has been chosen: in addition to AnotheReality – represented on this occasion by our CTO Fabio Mosca – A_Lab, Broken Arms Games, DESTINYBit, Digital Tales, Emotricon, IndieConstruction, LEAF Games & Software, MixedBag, Open Lab, Proxy42, Studio Evil, and Untold Games are also present.
