16 OCTOBER
​Arcadia Rebirth
An Indie Game Club Night Like No Other
Step into the dark, dazzling heart of indie games culture. Arcadia Rebirth is a one-night-only celebration of creativity, chaos, connection, and maybe even a little crime.
Play games, solve mysteries, sip cocktails, and dance until 3am (or later).
​
This isn’t just a night out, it’s a whole damn vibe.
About the Event
Arcadia Rebirth is where the UK’s indie game scene comes alive, literally.
Think club night meets industry mixer meets immersive theatre. It’s built for devs, players, creatives, and anyone who knows that the best connections happen when you’re not pretending to network.
​
You’ll explore three immersive spaces across a private nightclub in Central London, each with its own atmosphere, purpose, and pulse. Whether you want to play games, show off your moves, or uncover a murder, Arcadia gives you a night to remember, and a reason to come back.
12-13 NOVEMBER
Game Dev Local at To The Moon Expo
12–13 November 2025 | NEC Birmingham
We’re bringing the UK’s indie heat straight to the big leagues.
Game Dev Local is proud to power the Indie Zone at this year’s To The Moon Expo, a bold new force in the UK gaming scene, built from the ground up to support the future of games, players, and the studios shaping what comes next.
​
This ain’t your typical show floor shuffle.
We’re curating a showcase of the most exciting indie talent in the UK, with studios you need to know and games you won’t believe are still in development. Expect narrative brilliance, mechanical wizardry, and pure unfiltered creativity, raw, playable, and ready to blow minds.
Why we’re doing this:
Because indies deserve better.
Because great games shouldn’t be buried under corporate noise.
Because community-first means developer-first, too.
We’re not just dropping a banner and walking away. Game Dev Local is designing a space where:
​
-
Studios connect with players, press, publishers, and partners.
-
Talent gets noticed.
-
Stories get told.
​
Oh, and we’re mentoring hackathon teams, supporting talks and panels, and helping shape the ecosystem around this event. Because when indies win, the whole industry levels up.
​
Want to showcase with us?
Whether you’ve got a tight demo, a vertical slice, or a big idea and a dream, we want you in the room.
Spaces are limited and curated. Hit us up if you’re ready.
Let’s show ‘em what UK indie really looks like.
