Massive night of gaming announced for Fed Square this October

A major new free event has been announced as part of Melbourne International Games Week, which is headed our way from 30-8 October.

This year Big Games Night Out has been included on Thursday 5 October as a major new free event that will transform Fed Square and ACMI into a games wonderland with free activities, tournaments and performances for fans of all ages to enjoy for the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest digital games celebration. 

Gamers can put their skills to the test on the latest games releases, indie arcade games and vintage 80s games all available to play alongside games tournaments, a games Swap Meet and live music performances celebrating iconic games soundtracks.

Fans are invited to suit up as their favourite characters for the Cosplay Parade and Runway Experience hosted by Myf Warhurst and multi-talented musician and gamer Montaigne. Melbourne-made game Stray Gods will also be showcasing local fashion inspired by the game. 

Big Games Night Out will run from 5pm until late on Thursday 5 October.
