Dubai announced the Dubai Esports & Games Festival 2024 event will run from April 19 to May 5 in the city in the United Arab Emirates.
The Dubai Esports & Games Festival aims to surpass the 48,2000 attendees who came to last year’s event. It will feature over 50 games played on 200 machines, including 11 unreleased titles and four world-first showings. It’s part of the UAE’s plan to attract gaming jobs to the country. I interviewed a Dubai economic adviser and wrote about voices of gaming in Dubai as well about the gaming ambitions.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, second deputy ruler of Dubai and chairman of the Dubai Media Council, is the patron for the event.
“The Dubai Esports & Games Festival 2024 is more than an event; it’s a celebration of the skill, strategy, and the dedication of gamers and esports professionals across the city, the region and wider global landscape. In a city committed to the digital economy’s growth and transformation, this year’s festival is set to be the leader of the region’s gaming industry, solidifying Dubai’s position as a year-round global hub for esports and gaming,” said Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, in a statement.
