Konami, the company behind gaming titles such as Pro Evolution Soccer, Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania and Silent Hill, have confirmed their attendance at this year’s Play Expo.

Konami will be giving fans the opportunity to play Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 which has already received high praise from the press and public alike. The game recently won the title of ‘Best Sports Game’ at Gamescom 2014.

Attendees are invited to play and experience the game for themselves which will be available in the now.play zone. The Konami staff will be at hand to answer any questions about the game as well as to provide details of the new PES League season where entrants will have the chance to win exciting prizes simply by just playing. Head down to the now.play zone to find out what is up for grabs.

Fans are also invited to participate in structured playoffs between each other which will take place in the pro.play tournament area. Not only will fans have the opportunity to win official Konami and PES brand merchandise, they also have the chance to win a ‘money can’t buy’ UCL Dream Ticket which guarantees the winner as seat at the 32-man PES UCL Final.

That’s not all as Konami will also be unveiling the first ever PES League University Championship, open exclusively to UK university students nationwide. There is also a unique opportunity for university students to become PES League Ambassadors, where they will be able to organise PES League tournaments on campus, updating results directly on the official PES League website, giving their fellow students the chance to become PES League University Champions and to win amazing Konami prizes.

There will also be a number of other playable Konami titles on next-gen consoles – details to be confirmed shortly.

Play Expo confirms first fourteen indie studios for October Expo: Gang Beasts, Wulverblade, TerraTech and many more games announced

12/8/2014

Replay Events have confirmed the first fourteen indie studios that will be exhibiting at their Manchester based video games event, Play Expo, this coming October. The number represents a considerable increase in developers exhibiting at their annual gaming show.

Andy Brown, Director at Replay Events said “We are overwhelmed by the support the indie game community has shown our expo this year. The indie zone was a very popular feature at our Play Blackpool show in May as well as at Play Expo last year so we wanted to build on that momentum for this October’s show which is shaping up to be our best yet!”

Play Expo is now in its fifth year and has established itself as a firm favourite amongst gamers. The event saw close to 16,000 attendees in 2013 and the organisers have increased the show space to accommodate up to 25,000 gaming fans this year. As well as an indie zone, the expo features esports, current gen gaming, a retro zone, cosplay, industry speakers and special guests.

Fully Illustrated owner Michael Heald who is exhibiting at the show said “Wulverblade is a HD 2D side scrolling beat-em-up that aims to revive this lost genre and bring the classic arcade gameplay to the next generation on Xbox One - we’re proud to say that Wulverblade was selected as one of the first 25 ID@Xbox titles to appear on the new system! We’re hoping to be able to bring both a taster of the campaign itself as well as a ‘survive as long as you can’ arena mode to Play Expo and we can’t wait to get people’s feedback!”

James Woodrow, Utopian World of Sandwiches Director added “We came to Play Expo in 2012 and had a great time playing Chompies with everyone. This year it's going to be even bigger and better, with even more of our fellow indies joining in the fun. We're really looking forward to showing everyone in Manchester our nine-player sequel Chompy Chomp Chomp Party on the Wii U. We want to get the whole crowd involved!”

The organisers are offering indies special low rates for space and power on the main show floor and there are a variety of packages available to suit small studios as well as individual developers. Anyone interested in exhibiting should email Replay Events directly - exhibit@playexpo.net.
