rAge Expo will arrive in Cape Town, March 2016

Nicknamed Durban for hipsters by no one except Durbanites, Cape Town is a gorgeous city to be sure, particularly if you’re a fan of scenic panoramic views.

During March of 2016, however, it’s going to become that much more scenic for nerds, as the GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World is filled with all sorts of videogaming paraphernalia.

The City of Cape Town will host is first ever rAge expo from March 18^th to the 20^th.

According to an interview by IGN with NAG’s (or what was once NAG) editor Michael James, Cape Town’s rAge is set to be a different experience from the one that occurs in Johannesburg.

“Due to the timing of release dates for big-name titles local game distributors will have limited access to preview code, but there are many new and exciting games shipping early and middle of the year that we’re hoping to showcase in Cape Town,” says James.

The plan is to give local videogame developers some love, make room for a lot of “geek content” like comics, figurines, artwork, technology, gadgets and a whole lot more.

We’re also expecting expo real state to be set aside for things like trading card games, board games, overclocking demonstrations and a lot of food.
