UK indie game show WASD is sadly no more


UK indie-focused game expo WASD has now been officially cancelled, as its organiser enters liquidation.

"Increasing costs and less demand for stand space means running events is just not viable for us anymore," WASD co-founder David Lilley told BBC News today. This year's EGX, the UK's only remaining major video games event, notably ran as a mash-up with fellow Reedpop-owned expo MCM Comic-Con, meanwhile. There's hope for the video games industry in 2025, with a bumper release schedule that includes the launch of GTA 6 and Switch 2, but all of this feels like it has come too late for some.
