The Faculty of History at the University of Gdansk (Poland), in collaboration with the Department of Computer Systems and Technologies at Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics (Ukraine), have the honour to announce the academic hybrid (on-site + online) conference, "Games of War," scheduled for the 24th of February 2024. This conference is dedicated to exploring the intricate narratives and historical reflections in Ukrainian video games that respond to the Russian 2014/2022 invasion of Ukraine.

On the 24th of February – a date forever tied to the tragic event of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine – "Games of War" seeks to delve into the multifaceted reflections of tragedy and heroism within video games as digital artifacts. This timely endeavor aims to foster a deeper understanding of how interactive media serves as a lens through which historic events are portrayed and interpreted. The conference provides a platform for researchers, scholars, and game developers to engage in profound discussions around the intersection of history, conflict, and digital storytelling.
