As the number of games keeps increasing, it’s harder for new, unknown titles to break through. One way to gain a marketing advantage is by leveraging big IPs, either in the form of sequels and spinoffs of existing game franchises or other entertainment IPs.
Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit, running alongside Pocket Gamer Connects London 2026, picks up on this trend, exploring the creative and commercial intersections between games and wider media industries like film, TV, anime, music, and more.
Hosted at the exciting arts and performance hub Barbican Centre on Tuesday, January 20th, the one-day event will gather delegates in games, art, storytelling, production, investment, and technology to unpack the challenges and opportunities of shared IP and potential cross-media collaborations.
With four focused tracks and multiple expert speakers from Com2uS, Konvoy, Maze Theory, Helsinki Film Lab, NAK3D, and more, the event offers talks and panels delving into best practices for IP integration, optimising transmedia partnerships, investment strategies, and future opportunities in evolving cross-sector entertainment.
