A massive FREE celebration of gaming culture, featuring a spectacle experience of projections and performance, epic displays of cosplay fashion and games.
Big Games Night Out (BGNO) will once again take over Fed Square, for a free, accessible, and all-ages event welcoming gamers and gaming culture enthusiasts from all walks of life.
Come down, play and compete in legendary and indie games – from arcade, to esport, tabletop, and roleplay – or join family and friends in the Main Square for live music, DJs, performances and an unforgettable showcase of cosplay fashion.
Highlights include the Blaktasia Universe, celebrating the global premiere of Blaktasia: Invasion of The Murk – the debut game from Naarm-based, Aboriginal-led studio GUCK, slated for release in early 2025. This immersive experience features mesmerising projections across Fed Square’s façade.
Fans can also celebrate 10 years of the viral game Crossy Road, with Melbourne studio Hipster Whale, cosplayers can register for the Cosplay Runway and strut their stuff for the chance to win great prizes, and Dungeons & Dragons fans can join Indiginerd at Koorie Heritage Trust to play a special D&D campaign.
Cosplayers take to the runway to showcase the best in fantasy fashion and makeup. Featuring celebrity hosts, prizes and live music, this open and inclusive feature of BGNO provides a platform for Melbourne’s extraordinary cosplay community to shine. Cosplayers – regardless of skill level or costume style – are invited to express interest!
Stay tuned for further announcements, including Main Stage hosts, DJs, live performers, maps and timetables.
Big Games Night Out is proudly presented by Creative Victoria in partnership with Fed Square. BGNO is a hero event of Melbourne International Games Week (MIGW) which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024.
