From this starting point, the branded bus will transform into a mobile gaming space, visiting key locations throughout the city. Each stop will feature a 45 to 60-minute program, including presentations of game projects, visitor testing sessions, an activated mobile gaming area, and musical performances. Following the city circuit, guests are invited to Login House EXP for a special program showcasing resident projects from the Moscow Game Hub and organized gaming sessions.

This festival is part of a broader business mission to Brazil by residents and partners of the Moscow cluster of video games and animation.

Brazil is recognized as a leading country in the region for gaming enthusiasts, boasting an audience of over 100 million people. The festival will encompass both street venues and computer clubs, where guests can try out nine projects across various genres, including adventure and strategy. A cyber sports marathon is also scheduled at one of the major gaming centers. A business mission involving ten Moscow companies is also underway in São Paulo from April 28 to May 1. This mission anticipates over 300 business meetings with representatives from Brazilian institutions focused on creative economy development and potential partners. Discussions are planned on topics such as the publication and localization of Russian games, licensing, digital platform placement, joint creation of game and animated products, and technology exchange.
