Events Director at Gamer Network David Lilley stated that, “The Total War and Company of Heroes franchises represent the pinnacle of PC strategy games. We’re thrilled that SEGA has chosen to bring titles of this calibre to Rezzed”.

Both games are hotly anticipated in their own right but more importantly, this will be the first time that either game will be playable to the general audience.

While Total War: Rome II (releasing on September 3rd) is the follow-up Creative Assembly’s critically acclaimed series as players manage the chaos of the Republic, keeping various factions in line, Company of Heroes 2 is Relic’s next step forward in the RTS genre, boasting a new engine and new faction to play as during World War II, and releasing on June 25th.

Eurogamer and Rock, Paper, Shotgun have joined hands to bring back the PC and Indie game show Rezzed for another year. The show is being organized by the same team that brought us the Eurogamer Expo, and will take place on Saturday 22^nd and Sunday 23^rd June at The NEC, Birmingham, which can accommodate up to 10,000 gamers.

The show floor will feature some of the most anticipated AAA titles, as well as the most innovative indie games that are on the horizon. A complete list of attendees will be disclosed in the coming weeks, with SEGA and GetGames already confirmed to showcase their games.

Some of the most notable exhibitors include Red Thread Games who will be showcasing Dreamfall Chapters at their developer session, Big Robot’s Tom Betts will show off  Sir, You Are Being Hunted, a special session featuring Ridiculous Fishing developer Vlambeer and Hotline Miami creator Dennaton. And perhaps most exciting of them all, Chris Avellone from Obsidian Entertainment will be debuting Project Eternity which was overwhelming positive response on Kickstarter.

“Rezzed 2012 was a wonderful mix of high-profile, big-budget titles and quirky indie games, which helped foster an incredible atmosphere. We were delighted to enable UK gamers to get hands-on for the first time with blockbusters such as Borderlands 2 while also acting as a springboard for indie games such as Hotline Miami,” said Rupert Loman, Founder and CEO of Gamer Network. “The NEC in Birmingham allows us to replicate this success while enabling an extra 6,000 gamers to attend the event.”

“The PC and indie games markets have continued to blossom over the last 12 months. Rezzed represents an ideal opportunity for both large publishers and indie developers to showcase their latest works to 10,000 hardcore PC and indie gamers.” added David Lilley, Events Director of Gamer Network
