Announcing W.A.S.D – A new consumer video game event in London

Roucan Events & Content Ltd. is launching a new game event at London’s Tobacco  Dock. The first W.A.S.D will take place on the 7th to the 9th April 2022 at the unique  Wapping venue.

W.A.S.D is proud to be part of London Games Festival 2022 which takes place on the 1st to the 10th April. Network N will bring its publishing expertise to W.A.S.D as the event’s media partner. 

W.A.S.D brings publishers and developers together under one roof, giving attendees the opportunity to play a variety of games. Visitors will be able to meet their favourite content creators and hear from developers who will present their latest games. 

Students will be inspired by the games on show and can chat with their creators 

about starting a career in the industry. 

W.A.S.D will be an important destination for those in the industry as it hosts the  Games Finance Market’s face-to-face meetings. More details will be announced  ater this year.  

David Lilley, Roucan Founder, said: “W.A.S.D ensures there’s a consumer focus for London Games Festival, bringing both indie and big-budget games together.  We know that developers love to exhibit in a relaxed atmosphere and to get valuable feedback from gamers as they play. We’re looking forward to those in the  trade coming down to have a coffee with new connections and enjoying a drink in  the bar when the show closes.” 

Ben Maxwell, Network N Publishing Director, said: “Network N is delighted to  partner with Roucan for the inaugural W.A.S.D, which we believe is an important  and necessary addition to the game-industry event calendar and a welcome new  platform for indie developers and investors.” 

Michael French, Head of Games at Film London and director of the London Games  Festival, said: “We’re so happy to see this important event land in the capital and proud to have it as part of the London Games festival programme. W.A.S.D will  provide fans with a much-needed opportunity to play new games and hear from the  people who make them, while professionals get more chances to connect and grow  their network - and our Games Finance Market meetings onsite will help funders  find the big hit games of the future.”
