IRL 2023 is tomorrow!

MCV/DEVELOP’s IRL 2023 will take place tomorrow, November 29, 2023, at Village Underground in Shoreditch. 

IRL is our casual industry night out, held only once a year, where those working in or around video games can get together and let their hair down while celebrating the UK games industry’s recent achievements and hard work.

As well as being a chance for the industry to get together and have a good time just before it breaks up for the holiday period, IRL 2023 is also our opportunity to celebrate this year’s cohort of rising stars in the MCV/DEVELOP 30 Under 30, who will receive their awards in person at the event.

If you’ve not bought a ticket yet for IRL 2023, there are limited numbers still available over on our Eventbrite page. Get yours as soon as possible to avoid missing out!
