Lots of AAA titles and indie games will be playable at the expo, and there’s also a number of other activities for attendees to see and join in with, including cosplay performances, Q&A sessions with developers, retro gaming, a huge Street Fighter V tournament and other live E-sport events.

There’s even a chance to find a career in the gaming industry thanks to GamesIndustry.biz’s Career Fair.
 
PlayStation VR will also be making an appearance, giving people one last look at Sony’s foray into virtual reality ahead of its impending release next month.
 
The list of playable games at this year’s EGX includes:

• Battlefield 1
• Destiny: Rise of Iron

Still not enough? Well then you’ll be glad to know Bethesda are bringing Arkane Studios’ Dishonored 2 to the event, marking the first time joe public will be able to go hands on with the highly anticipated sequel to 2012’s Dishonored.
 
Arkane Studios’ Art Director, Sebastien Mitton, will be hosting a developer session on the opening day of the expo discussing his artistic approach to the game. The session will be streamed live over on EGX’s Twitch channel. 
 
Pass the Controller’s own James Parry will also be present at EGX on the opening day, bringing you an attendees-eye-view of all the goings on during his time there, so keep an eye on the site in the days after the event for some new video content detailing his experiences.
