Nordic Game Spring 2024, May 21-24
[Alanko On Stage, Networking & Awards Ceremony]

We're getting deep into convention season, and with Digital Dragons closing its doors yesterday, we're already just days away from Nordic Game (NG24) opening theirs. 

Nordic Game is a four-day gaming industry event held on May 21st - 24th in Slagthuset, Malmö, Sweden. This year, the convention celebrates its twentieth anniversary and rich history; throughout the years, it has been regarded as a "home turf" meeting place for game developers in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, inviting both start-ups and long-running studios.

If you're attending, there are a few Remedy-themed treats in store for you, from Petri Alanko's Alan Wake 2 conversation to new career/network opportunities, concluding with a game awards ceremony. As there's a lot to get through, we'll try to address them quickly...


Petri Alanko On Stage

On Friday, Petri Alanko will be joined by Orvar Säfström, to talk about his process in composing Alan Wake 2's haunting masterpiece:
