Playtopia, the indie games and immersive arts festival, takes place on Friday December 6, from 9am to 10pm, and Saturday December 7, from 9am to 9pm, at the Homecoming Centre in District Six in the Cape Town city centre.
The festival features a curated collection of local games and artworks, along with contributions from international creators.
Founded in 2018, Playtopia draws inspiration from alternative gaming festivals around the world and aims to be a celebration of the African gaming industry with South African and global creators and players coming together to share ideas, connect across continents and disciplines, and to exhibit work.
In this fourth instalment of Playtopia, gaming enthusiasts, developers, and event-goers will be treated to a wide array of games, music, immersive art experiences and gourmet food. The event will include exhibitions from leading South African interactive artists, artistic and alternative games, a Super Friendship Arcade room with custom controller-based games, VR rooms, and more.
The festival will close on Saturday evening with an official after party at Botanik, hosted by Discotekah.
Tickets cost from R250 to R1500. Book at https://playtopiafestival.co.za
