5 WHAT S NEW FOR 2019? MORE INFO A Message from the Editor The MCV Awards are returning in 2019 and it s going to be our biggest and loudest celebration of the industry to date. MCV recently turned 20 years old and we want to mark that achievement, and the achievements of 20 years of the UK games industry as a whole, with a very special MCV@20 Awards. That means special awards, a special preshow event, and a party to remember for the next 20 years. We re back at The Brewery of course, with an event that will follow last year s much-acclaimed formula. That means less awards categories and less sitting down at tables; and more time to drink and chat to your mates, colleagues and rivals. And once again, we ll be making it feel like a proper games industry event, not yet another corporate shindig. I can t wait to see you all there. Seth Barton, Editor, MCV So, what s different?
