They'll be joined by Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and Alien Isolation creative director Alistair Hope.

Leading the indie track are Vlambeer's Rami Ismail and Gone Home author Steve Gaynor, as well as Talos Principle writer Tom Jubert and independent consultant and designer Whitney Hill.

Alongside the AAA and Indie lead tracks, this year's show features a program dedicated to forward-looking technologies like VR, wearable tech, VR and holographic tech.
