Toronto Game Expo Opens Doors March 28 to 29

Toronto Game Expo is being held this weekend at the Enercare Centre in the city. From March 28 to March 29, attendees can check out the many vendors, tournaments and indie game showcase.

The weekend-long expo returns this coming weekend. Running twice annually, the ‘Spring Show’ is being set up in Hall G of the Enercare Centre. The Toronto Game Expo has become a hot spot for game collectors and audiences looking to get their hands on and try some new indie games made by Ontario developers.

This year, many indie developers are gathering to show off their games to attendees. At Toronto Game Expo, you can check out many titles, including, but not limited to:

If you’re hunting down some games for your collection, A&C Games will be in attendance alongside many other vendors selling retro games across generations and platforms. There will also be other booths set up, selling collectibles and merch worth keeping an eye out for. Plus, Toronto Game Expo supports an artist alley so if you’re in need of some new prints for your wall, this is a stop worth making.
