Play NYC Confirms a Return in August To The Metropolitan Pavilion
One of New York's big gaming conventions, Play NYC, confirms that it will be returning and in a new home as they move to the Metropolitan Pavilion. From August 10th-11th, theconvention will bring major studios and upcoming indie titles to the Big Apple, showing off both booths and displays as well as interactive exhibits. The convention is currently signing up exhibitors, with Bose AR-cade confirmed to be a part of the show so far. Here's a couple quotes from organizers about the convention and the move.
"In 2017, we gave NYC its first dedicated game convention. In year two, we took everything to the next level, doubling the number of exhibitors and games, expanding our live stream with the biggest names in the industry, and more," said Dan Butchko, Founder and CEO of Playcrafting and the convention organizer. "Gaming keeps growing in the U.S. because of its talented community of creators and fans. This year, we're going back to our roots, ensuring everything about Play NYC – from the look of the show to its hundreds of playable booths – reflects, celebrates and creates opportunities for creators and fans to unite through the power of games."
"Playcrafting grew from 10 developers who got together to show each other their games in 2009 to one of the largest game communities in the U.S. that look forward to our 200+ conventions and classes for chances to show and fine-tune their work," said Butchko. "Part of the way we create opportunities for the community to grow and thrive is by teaming up with other organizations committed to the same cause. Bose is a tremendous ally, and we're excited to work with them and others to bring even more unique experiences to NYC developers and gamers alike."
