The annual Game Devs of Color Expo is right around the corner, and for 2023, the eighth annual conference will be held online, featuring panels, interviews and more gaming goodness.
Since before the pandemic, the Game Devs of Color Expo has been held in the Schomburg Center in Harlem, New York, but last year, the expo was held online, and 2023 seeks to follow suit. The expo features insightful talks, interviews, panels, and most importantly, game announcements from developers around the world. The GDoCExpo mission is to “amplify the creative power held by people of colour in games.”
The 2023 Game Devs of Color Expo will kick off the exciting three-day event on September 27 at 1 p.m. EST with the GDoCExpo Direct which is a showcase of more than 30 new game announcements on the official GDoCExpo YouTube channel. Luckily for fans who have missed out, or newcomers, that very YouTube channel can be used to catch up on everything GDoCExpo in their video library. There will also be a returning GDoCExpo Steam sale that includes demos and steep discounts for gaming bargain hunters.
