The president of the Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart developer will answer questions about Insomniac’s approach to game development in an increasingly unpredictable world, and will share lessons learned over the studio’s decades-long history of making blockbuster titles.
Price joins his fellow keynote speakers Team17’s Debbie Bestwick MBE, and Oddworld Inhabitants’ Lorne Lanning and Bennie Terry III.
