Amid the darkening mornings and the frigid nights, a light is rising:
THE PRINCE IS BACK.
For the fourth year running, The Prince of Arcade is filling the Eastern Bloc New Media Center with a host of unique and unreleased games from independent designers. From wildly competitive digital showdowns to machine-mediated meditation, the games appeal to both player and spectator alike in a dynamic reconfiguration of the art gallery. Come on out for a night of drinks and electronic fever-dreams!
BE THERE. BE LOVELY.

A NEW CHALLENGER
As if there weren’t enough incredible games in the lineup, analysts are now predicting that this year’s Prince of Arcade will feature the public unveiling of the latest iteration of the Arcade Royale — a home-grown, hand-crafted beauty of an arcade cabinet. Featuring exclusives from the Montreal indie game dev community — as well as a special guest or two — the arcade is a fusion of old-school aesthetics and exciting new gameplay.
The Royale beckons! Will you answer?

BE THERE. BE LOVELY.
