Then, head back to the Center Sept. 21 for a full day of festivities! The NHCC Grand Hall will be converted into a vintage video game arcade featuring classic favorites and hard-to-find gems. As part of the festival, the Center will also host an e-sports tournament with games like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Mortal Kombat 1, and a pop-up exhibition about the history of Latinos in the video game industry.

There will be panel discussions and opportunities to network and break into the rapidly growing industry throughout the weekend. More information on the festival is available HERE. 

Founded in Los Angeles in 2019, the Latinx Games Festival represents the definitive video game industry event for Latinx game development. The organization aims to connect, learn from and advocate for Latinx game developers, providing a platform for global opportunities within the gaming industry. 

Video games are a key part of New Mexico’s booming film and television industry, and the Latinx Games Festival offers an opportunity to learn more from the Hispanic creators who have helped it grow!
