“Thanks to the imminent launch of Xbox One and PlayStation 4, 2013 is going to be a massive year for video games and how that will impact development and developers will be central to the Develop in Brighton conference this summer,” said Andy Lane, managing director of Tandem Events.

“But consoles are just one facet of the development industry these days and every corner of it – from mobile monetisation to free to play, indie success to connected development – will be embraced, debated, scrutinised and shared in the conference rooms and networking events during Develop’s three days, so developers will go home with the tools they need to build stronger studios and do better business.”
