Here are the key upcoming events and releases to mark in your calendar...
DEVELOP:BRIGHTON The industry’s annual conference meet-up by the British seaside returns this month, and as usual will be three days of networking, informative keynote sessions and after-hours games industry parties. This year’s list of guest speakers includes Chris Charla (who we spoke to last ssue), Jon Ingold (the issue before that), the leadership from Guerilla Games (this issue), and many more. Also taking place will be the Indie Showcase contest, the Develop Expo, a GamesAid poker tournament, and the prestigious Develop:Star Awards.

JULY 4th 11th -13th
SYNAPSE Every platform needs a killer app and the hope is that nDreams’ Synapse will be the one to slay the competition on behalf of PlayStation VR2.
The game builds on the underrated success of nDreams’ own run- and-gun FPS Fracked, adding Infamous-style telekenetic powers that promise to make unrivalled use of PSVR2’s motion controls and eye-tracking.
With the recent announcement of Meta Quest 3 and an immediate price cut for the market-leading Quest 2 (back to the price it was 18 months ago), it feels like the time is ripe for a showcase game to appear for Sony’s latest headset. No pressure. No pressure at all.

THE PC ZONE CLASSIC: 30 YEARS AFTER
LAUNCH PARTY This year marks 30 years since the launch of PC Zone and to celebrate the gang that helped put the magazine together during its 17- year run are having a post-Develop Conference reunion near the mag’s old Fitzrovia office.
Not only are veteran Dennis Publishing and Future era staff invited, but freelancers, PRs, friends from sister magazines, and even those that served PC Zone’s bitter rivals. “If you were part of the beautiful chaos at any stage” goes the Eventbrite page, “then we’d love to see you.”
Editor Richie (being one of the organisers) will be there. Do say hello if you’re popping along.
