The director of the Metal Gear Solid film will also be present at this digital version of the event in Barcelona.
More names for Gamelab Barcelona 2020 Live (from June 23 to 25). The organization has announced that Mike Pondsmith, video game and board game designer, as well as the creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe – now brought to video games by CD Projekt RED – will be one of the many creatives who will be present at this event digital. He will be accompanied by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, director of the future film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid. The press release highlights that "the first-rate speakers reaffirm the international potential" of the fair, which will be entirely digital due to the coronavirus, although next year they will return to normal.
The celebrity roster includes Amy Hennig, director of the original Uncharted trilogy on Naughty Dog. It marks his return, since he also attended the 2018 edition, where he obtained the Gamelab Honor Prize. On the other hand, American McGee has been confirmed as another of the powerful. After more than 27 years of experience in the industry, he has successes like Doom or Quake to his credit, although he currently focuses on mobile devices and free-to-play products.
