2018 Rochester Game Festival

➡ DATE: Saturday, September 15, 2018
➡ WHERE: Gene Polisseni Center @ RIT

That’s a wrap on the Second Annual Rochester Game Festival!

We smashed our attendance goal as more than 1,000 people made the trek down to the Rochester Institute of Technology to play some games, and we want to thank all of you for your continued support for New York State’s game development scene.

Also, we want to give a big thanks to all the amazing exhibitors who showcased their new and upcoming games, and to everyone at RIT’s MAGIC Center and the Irondequoit Library for everything they did to help make this event a reality.

Finally, one more thank you for Le Petit Poutine, Wraps On Wheels, and Tuscan Wood Fired Pizza. They served up plenty of good grub at this year’s ROC Game Fest and I hope you got a chance to try it all.

It was another fantastic day for the Rochester Game Festival and we are looking forward to doing it again next year! Keep checking back over the coming months for more information about the 2019 Spring Mini Show and the 2019 Rochester Game Festival.

Our new home the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Gene Polisseni Center will provide us with plenty of room to showcase games from more than 35 developers.
