'Amazing showcase' for UK gaming industry cancelled


The organisers blamed "increasing costs and less demand" as the sector continues to struggle.

Co-founder David Lilley told the BBC "increasing costs and less demand for stand space means running events is just not viable for us anymore." As well as talks from industry members, WASD showcased a variety of demos from upcoming smaller games, alongside bigger releases such as Street Fighter 6 and Vampire Survivors. Whilst London's other video game showcase EGX did take place this October, it did so in partnership with MCM Comic Con, rather than as a stand-alone event.
