Organiser Ukie has revealed that the Eurogamer Expo will open the festival at Earl’s Court on September 27th, 28th and 29th. It will be the public’s first opportunity to get their hands on the industry’s key releases.
The first day will close with a Gala event, where GamesAid will be handing out cheques to chosen charities.
