The Trafalgar Takeover for the London Games Festival celebrated Black, Asian and minority industry professionals and had interactive arcade games re-imagined for families to enjoy.
The festival aimed to bring together families, gamers and those interested in the gaming industry to enjoy physical creations of famous arcade games, such as Tetris and Pacman, play new indie games in the Lounge and explore the BAME exhibition of industry figures called Ensemble.
Michael French, Director of the London Games Festival, said: “We actually did our very first event, when the festival began in 2026, here in the square. It’s a great milestone of that journey.”
He added: “We put in a lot of public facing exhibits to change public perception of gaming, to help people celebrate games and show off the different aspect of video games.”
