Game Republic New Horizons 2026 is a three‑day flagship games industry conference taking place 14–16 October 2026 at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough. The event brings together developers, publishers, investors, platform leaders, and creative‑tech professionals for high‑impact keynotes, curated panels, masterclasses, workshops, and a growing expo floor. Speakers already confirmed include Ken Kutaragi and Rebecca Lautner of Landfall, with organisers promising an expanded programme featuring transmedia sessions, international market insights, tech deep‑dives, and the popular Investor Zone.
Building on last year’s sold‑out edition, which drew over 250 developers from the UK, Europe, the US, and Japan, New Horizons 2026 is set to be “even bigger and better,” with hundreds expected to attend. The conference is part of the wider Game Republic events programme, supported by partners including Red Kite Games, Xsolla, and Double Eleven. Early Bird passes are listed at £149, extended through 30 April 2026.
