Game Republic members will be able to join a Game Republic zone at MegaCon Live in Manchester celebrating their 5th anniversary on 1st/2nd August. The event produced by the co-founder of MCM is set to attract 20,000 people as the biggest content led Pop culture event in the region.
Game Republic will be heading up the indie game zone and is offering up to 20 game studios in its membership the chance to showcase at the event. Very few spaces remain and to apply to show your game in the Game Republic zone visit this link
Jamie Sefton, MD of Game Republic said “This is a great opportunity for game companies to promote their games to the general public and to an audience interested in games and all kinds of pop culture. We are really excited to be partnering with this huge event”
The event will take place at Manchester Central and will include special guests, Games, Anime, Manga, Movies, Steampunk, Tabletop playtesting, Stormtroopers and Cosplay.
Organiser of the event and co-founder of MCM Bryan Cooney said “We’re excited to welcome the return of Game Republic at our 5th anniversary at Manchester Central! We’re so happy you all decided to join us all again at MegaCon 2026!”
Game Republic will be hosting a special webinar for game studios wanting to take part who may be new to public-facing events, to ensure they are well prepared to make the most of the opportunity to meet potential new players of the game. The opportunity for Game Republic members is for those who have published games, games on early release or those that are looking to increase wish lists for games coming out later in 2026 / early 2027.
Jamie added “There is such a lot of talent in the games industry in The North and I am really happy that we are able to bring this exclusive opportunity to our members.”
