While 2020 might have been the year retro gaming went mainstream, it missed a few events, for obvious reasons. In 2021, Play EXPO Blackpool is here to level things up.
With a raft of events from Minecraft to to LAN gaming, some of the key elements of the event are retro gaming, tournaments, and arcade cabs. And of course, there will be the shopping hall, where you’ll find classic games, consoles, gaming merchandise, retro toys, and even custom artwork.
It’s THE event to get you out of the lockdown blues and dive into the ever growing world of retro gaming.
Sadly, full details for the event are yet to be announced, but we’ll bring them to you as they’re released.
