A GAMING convention is set to come to Aberdeen for the first time.

Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) will host the 4TheGamers (4TG) GameCon next year.

The expo will be a celebration of games from the retro classics to the newest AAA releases.

It will feature 24 hours of gaming, 12 hours on each day on Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7 – with games to run from 10am to 10pm.

The announcement follows the huge success of the Granite City Comic Con earlier this year, attended by more than 4,000 people.

It is expected that the games expo will be Scotland’s biggest gaming convention next year.
