NYC video game convention Play NYC is coming back in August.

The convention will take place at the Metropolitan Pavilion on August 7 and August 8. Over 65 exhibitors will be on hand to showcase their forthcoming titles, including Avalanche Studios, Niantic, and Schell Games. The list of announced exhibitors can be seen below.

Playcrafting’s Founder & CEO Dan Butchko said this about Play NYC’s return:

“When Play NYC was virtual last year, we got to see first-hand how games have helped so many people stay connected, unwind and escape during the pandemic. Play NYC gives developers a safe space to show what they've been working on and people of all ages get the chance to get together, in real life, to celebrate the unifying power of games. We couldn’t be more thrilled.”

Tickets for Play NYC 2021 are on sale here. To keep everyone safe, attendees 16 & over must show proof of vaccination before entering. Children under the age of 16 must have a negative COVID test taken within 48 hours of arriving to Play NYC. The event will be streamed on Playcrafting’s Twitch channel for those not able to attend.
