The Nordic Game Discovery Contest Season III caravan arrived at the F&S Play Festival in Bilbao, Spain this past weekend for the season’s eleventh qualifier on the road to the finals at NG19 next May.

Big congrats to Son of a Bit and see you in Malmö at Nordic Game 2019! And a warm thank you to the organisers of the F&S Play Festival for a well-executed event and the great hospitality 🙂
