20 Years and Record Attendance

Poznań Game Arena is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Over the past two decades, the event has grown from a small-scale gathering into one of the most important events on Poland’s gaming calendar. The previous edition attracted nearly 70,000 attendees.

Valor Mortis: A Premiere at PGA

One of the highlights of this year’s edition is the lineup of game premieres that visitors can play before they officially hit the market. One of them is the highly anticipated Valor Mortis.

During the trade fair, visitors will be able to play the full version of the game, which is scheduled for release on October 13. The booth will also offer an opportunity to meet the development team and take home commemorative pins.

Warhammer 40,000 and Tickets to the World Championship

Poznań Game Arena will host the Central European Championship, the flagship Warhammer 40,000 tournament organized by the Polish Tournament Circuit.

It is one of the most important tournament events in this part of Europe and also serves as an official qualifier for the Warhammer 40,000 World Championship, scheduled for December 2026. Six Golden Tickets are up for grabs, with spots at the World Championship going to players from the teams that finish on the podium.

Dozens of hand-built and hand-painted armies will take their positions on tables filled with detailed terrain and scenery. Each match involves hours of planning and combat for control of the battlefield in one of the most expansive science-fiction universes.

Retro Gaming, Cosplay, the Main Stage, and Music

The anniversary edition will also celebrate the atmosphere that helped build the PGA brand. The Retro Zone is returning, this time curated by the Nocne Retro Granie team, showcasing how gaming and gaming hardware have evolved over the past two decades.

The PGA Cosplay Show will return in a special anniversary edition, while the main stage will host the finals of esports tournaments featuring international stars.

Żabka will also have its own space, the TRIKI Zone, combining gaming, technology, and competition.

And there will be music, too. During Saturday’s WEEKNDR FEST, Per Dżinn and Żupan will perform on stage.

Details and tickets are available on the PGA website.
