Welcome to the nineteenth edition of Nordic Game, Europe’s leading games conference and the only event in the world with a dedicated focus on the entire Nordic industry.

Following a very successful NG20+ in November, Nordic Game returns online with the spring edition of NG21 on 26-28 May.

We’re extremely proud of our online program for NG21 May; the roster of talented industry speakers and talks is simply extraordinary.

The NG21 May live stream kicks-off on Wednesday, 26 May, but already on Tuesday, 25 May from 9:00 CET you can start enjoying this spring’s program with a diverse selection of more than 30 pre-recorded sessions.

Just select 25 May from the online schedule and choose which pre-recorded talk you’d like to watch – and to meet the speakers online during the conference, join the Nordic Game Discord and look for the Q&A schedule there.

Here are some highlights from pre-recorded program at NG21 May:

This talk from Brooke Maggs will dive into the world-building and narrative development process at Remedy Entertainment.
