Horizon developer Guerrilla Games will discuss the studio’s future during the Develop: Brighton 2023 Keynote, it has been announced.
Sony’s Dutch first-party studio will deliver the keynote during the UK game conference this July, during which Angie Smets, Jan-Bart van Beek, and Michiel van der Leeuw will provide a “glimpse” of what lies ahead for the studio. In addition, the team will discuss the challenges it faced during the development of the Zero Dawn sequel, Horizon: Forbidden West.
In addition to providing the opening talk for the game conference in Brighton, Guerrilla Games will also receive the 2023 Develop Star Award for outstanding achievements and contributions to the games industry – a first time for a development studio.
“Guerrilla is thrilled to be delivering a keynote session at Develop:Brighton 2023 and truly honoured to be the first studio to receive the Develop Star Award,” said Angie Smets, Guerrilla Games’ former studio director. Smets was recently appointed Head of Development Strategy at PlayStation Studios.
