Look Sports Media – A brand-new gaming spectacle, the To The Moon Games Expo, is set to land in Birmingham’s NEC Arena this November 12th-13th, promising a fresh experience for UK gamers. This event arrives amidst a burgeoning gaming scene in the Midlands, with DreamHack and ESL One also slated for Birmingham in 2026.
The expo’s organizers are championing accessibility, aiming to "break down financial barriers" and ensure that exhibitors of all sizes can participate. Their philosophy, as stated in a recent press release, is a direct challenge to the status quo: "We stand against overpriced events; money should be kept with the creatives."
Attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on with a variety of games, including the highly anticipated tactical FPS, Ready or Not, developed by Ireland’s VOID Interactive. This marks the first time the game, which puts players in control of a police unit confronting criminals and terrorists, will be showcased in the UK. VOID Interactive is also planning a fully immersive SWAT experience, led by ex-UK special forces veterans from DarkPrism.

Adding to the local flavor, God Save Birmingham from Ocean Drive Games will also be playable. The title plunges players into 14th-century Birmingham, where they must fight to survive against hordes of the undead.
Beyond the headline titles, To The Moon will feature a dedicated indie developer section, showcasing new projects from Wired Productions, including Task Time, and Dovetail Games, who are bringing an as-yet-unannounced title.
Voice acting talent will be heavily represented at the expo, with meet-and-greets scheduled with a star-studded lineup. Reed Shannon, the voice of Ekko in League of Legends, 2XKO, and Arcane, will be making his live music debut at the event. Sam Roukin, renowned for his portrayal of Ghost in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare franchise, will also be making his first-ever UK expo appearance.

To The Moon will also provide networking opportunities for creators and B2B discussions, with over 50 speakers delivering keynotes. The looksports.media team will be on-site to bring you all the latest from the event.
