Organisers haven’t yet revealed the details of what’s to come but Finlay Parr, Event Manager, has said “Gamers can get ready for a first-of-its-kind gaming experience in the Middle East. Our Focus for this year and new for 2020 is the first-ever official Middle East Games Con Esports tournament and the gaming awards. In addition to these new and exciting activities for 2020, we are of-course bringing fans their favourite features of the Con to their homes.”

Kiera Doherty, Pop Culture Portfolio Director at Informa Connect adds “Middle East Games Con Digital will be free to enter. Each year we welcome gamers of all ages from across the MENA region, and this year we don’t want anyone to miss out on our annual event due to travel, health or other reasons. We will be broadcasting the event live to our fans, wherever they may be. Middle East Games Con Digital will allow us all to come together to celebrate gaming, in a safe and healthy environment.”
