Ahead of the event this August, the Philippine GameDev Expo announced its second wave of guests featuring gaming industry and Web3 professionals.
In case you missed its reveal, the Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) is an upcoming event that’s not your typical gaming convention. Instead of focusing on the upcoming games and gaming tech, this event will focus on game development and feature Filipino and global developers.
