Melbourne International Games Week set for 20-28 October

Melbourne International Games Week (MIGW) has been confirmed for 20-28 October, its organisers have today detailed.

MIGW 2018 has a number of returning events in the form of PAX AUS, Game Connect Asia Pacific, Freeplay Showcase, the Film Victoria Annual Games Lunch, Unite Melbourne and the Australian Game Developers Awards.

New to the program are the Melbourne Queer Games Festival — of which Stevivor is the official media partner — the first Esports Conference and a new High Score Conference.

“As the largest games festival in the Asia Pacific, Melbourne International Games Week demonstrates the vibrancy of Victoria’s digital games sector, and Melbourne’s position as the games capital of Australia,” Victorian Minister for Creative Industries, Martin Foley, said.

“MIGW is an opportunity to explore the latest games and technology, to discover the diversity of locally and internationally made games, and to learn about the future of games – in entertainment, education, business and beyond.”

There’s a lot going on — head here to look at the MIGW schedule.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
