GameZone Live Cancelled

Posted by Myers at 13:45 31/3/2005.

This year's GameZone Live has been cancelled due to lack of support from several large companies. What is GameZone Live you ask? GameZone Live (formerly named GameStars LIVE) was the noisy exhibition venue which last year hosted the European Online Gaming Championships. An event witnessing solid performances from UK teams such as 4K, Landed and LastChance. EOGC 2005 was due to be held at the same venue this year.

GamesIndustry.biz secured the scoop.

Game Zone Live, which was known as Game Stars Live last year, was due to run in the giant ExCeL exhibition space in London's Docklands district in early September, and was to be supported by a new television series about videogames.
However, a lack of support from platform holders Sony and Microsoft - despite both of them having new consoles emerging this year - and top publisher Electronic Arts has meant that the show is unable to go ahead.

More information regarding the new location of the Chevrolet sponsored European Online Gaming Championships to follow.
