GamesArabia brings the hottest video games to Dubai this month

If you’re a big fan of video games, you’ll want to keep the weekend of September 14 free. It marks the launch of GamesArabia, a new three-day event that brings together the very best that the world of video gaming has to offer, right here in Dubai. Taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre, fans have the chance for exclusive early access to some of the hottest games due out later this year. How does hands-on time with the likes of Call Of Duty: World War II, FIFA 18 and Far Cry 5 sound? Pretty sweet, if you ask us.

The event brings together many of the industry’s biggest publishers who will be on hand to showcase other titles including WWE 2K18, NBA 2K18, Destiny 2, along with popular games like League Of Legends and Mortal Kombat X. E-sports tournaments will be hosted over the weekend, and visitors will have the chance to enter a cosplay competition to win a cash prize worth Dhs10,000. They’re even promising a guest appearance by a WWE superstar, but that’s still under wraps for now. September 14 to 16
