important spotlight on independent retro projects, major classic

classic games, ensuring that heritage gaming is given center
stage during the busiest week in Europe's gaming calendar.
“Pixel Arcadia is a dedicated space for retro games fans, one
that celebrates this important part of the industry by honoring
the trailblazers of gaming past and looking ahead to
developments of iconic franchises. By partnering with incredible
sponsors who share our vision, we are able to support the retro
space with true editorial value, allowing developers to keep
their resources for making incredible games and connecting them
directly with their core audience. In Pixel Arcadia every
project shown gets the time, respect and storytelling it
deserves." - Al Hibberd, CEO of Pixel Helix
Further details regarding Pixel Arcadia’s broadcasting
platforms, participating developers and exclusive reveals will
be shared in the coming weeks.
With some of the biggest names in retro already adorning the
lineup, publishers and developers with projects in or around the
retro space are invited to visit pixel-arcadia.com to find out

titles in retro genres such as shmups, brawlers and beat ‘em
ups, to games made for retro platforms and new officially

will bring it out of the shadows.
