As well as welcoming the industry veteran to the event, Uncharted lead game designer Richard Lemarchand and Ouya CEO will also be speaking at the conference.

Other already confirmed sessions include DICE software engineer Evan Bell who will present an overview of strategies employed when debugging multi-threaded processes and multi-process systems and Tarsier CEO Mattias Nygren on how the Swedish studio managed to convince Sony that it could develop LittleBigPlanet for Vita.

Nordic Game will also host the Pitch & Match business-to-business system, an exhibition floor, the Nordic Game Awards, Nordic Game Indie Night and a live pitching sesson.
