London Games Festival returns for its biggest year yet! | Ukie Ukie heads to San Francisco this week with more than 75 companies in tow for this year's Game Developers Conference. But in just one month, the spotlight will be back on London, where the Games Festival returns for its eleventh year. We caught up with Michael French, Head of Games London and Festival Director at London Games Festival to find out what's in store. Backed by the Government, this year's festival is shaping up to be the biggest yet, with thousands of business executives expected and hundreds of games on showcase. This month, we are also marking Women's History Month, which kicked off with #IWD2026 on the weekend, with a separate feature. We spoke to Liz Prince, Co-Founder of Empower-Up and Business Manager at Amiqus, about building workplaces that genuinely support women in games, from the hiring process through to long-term retention.
