MCV Awards 2015: Watch the opening video here

Last week’s MCV Awards got off to a fantastic start as the event’s guests arrived in style… being delivered to the venue by none other than aliens.

The opening video was filmed on the night as attendees entered the Lancaster London Hotel, and was put together in time for the awards ceremony just hours later.

The energetic short features the guests coming into the venue in slow motion to the docile tones of dubstep.

Last year’s opening video saw the games industry squaring off against the apocalypse.

Check out the video below:

Over 71 companies from across the entire games industry competed closely for recognition in 22 different categories.

Three brand new special accolades were also up for grabs, going to outstanding individuals recognised as Unsung Hero, Person of the Year and Store Manager of the Year, as well as three inaugural company award categories: Media Team, Agency Team and Independent Games Publisher.
