Eurogamer Expo, the UK’s biggest gaming festival have announced that both Dishonored and DOOM 3 the BFG edition will be playable at their expo next month. This event will be the first time that Dishonored is available to play in the UK.
The Eurogamer Expo will take place in London’s Earls Court from 27th-30th September 2012 and is expected to welcome over 50,000 gamers from across the world.
Dishonored is a new first-person action game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethseda. In Dishonored the player takes on the role of Corvo, a supernatural assassin and legendary bodyguard who is driven by his need for revenge. The game also claimed Eurogamer’s ‘Gamescom Game of the Show’ award earlier this week. Dishonored is scheduled to be released throughout Europe on the 12th October 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
‘DOOM 3 the BFG Edition’ will be released by ZeniMax in PAL territories on October 19th. The BFG edition will feature both DOOM 3 and the ‘Resurrection of Evil’ add-on pack, both of which have been completely updated and digitally remastered. The DOOM 3 BFG edition will also include seven new levels entitled “The Lost Mission”. DOOM and DOOM 2 will also be included as part of the package.
Tom Bramwell the Eurogamer operations director and editor of ‘eurogamer.net’ spoke about the UK exclusive commenting that:
“We love games that let players make their own fun using flexible systems. Dishonored looks like the best example of this in a long time, so it was an easy decision to make it our Gamescom Game of the Show,” … “We’re also delighted to have it playable at the Eurogamer Expo, and it will be a great chance for gamers to experience the remastered DOOM 3, too!”
The Eurogamer Expo 2012 promises to deliver more playable games and UK first-plays to visitors than ever before. The event has also advertised a high-profile developer session schedule, as well as a number of hugely anticipated satellite events which include the Games Industry Fair.
