The event will take place in New York City (well… yeah…) at the SVA Theater on January 22nd. If you’re in the area - or plan to be - and want to attend, tickets are still available at the shockingly reasonable price of $22.
According to their press release, “Attendees will be entertained with live music and comedy from The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, watch trailer premiers, meet the world’s greatest game makers and hang with the Legend Award winner herself at the after party.”
Jade Raymond, who also founded both EA Motive and Ubisoft Toronto studios, is the first woman to receive the Legend Award. Previous recipients include Bethesda’s Todd Howard and Ultima creator and the world’s greatest eccentric millionaire Richard Garriott.
