Ukie CEO Nick Poole said, “The UK is home to some of the best games development talent in the world, from innovative indie favourites to globally successful blockbusters. For One Night Only will be a unique celebration of these amazing creative businesses and a showcase of their games to a global audience of game players. So, tune in for a night of fun, games, developer interviews and exclusive reveals.”
Lauran Carter, Communications Director at Liquid Crimson said, “There’s a huge amount of talent in the UK, and we see it up close every day. This is about giving those teams a proper stage and letting the work speak for itself.”
Bec HIll, (comedian) will be hosting, saying: “It is an absolute honour to be invited to host this event! I am in awe of the talent which continues to emerge from and within the British games industry, so it will be a refreshing (and humbling) experience to host something where the attendees’ level of creativity and skill outweighs my own.”
