New speakers revealed for NG25 Spring

The speaker roster for our upcoming show is growing by the day now, and very soon we’ll reveal the first of some 150+ high-profile industry experts joining Nordic Game in May. Following our Peter Molyneux, Josef Fares and Junae Benne speaker announcements, it’s a pleasure to welcome two new profiles to the NG25 Spring program:

Ben Fisher, Head of Design, Rebellion

Talk title: The Evolution of Atomfall – How Our Core Pillars Shaped the Final Game

Atomfall, Rebellion‘s upcoming survival action game, shifted through many guises during development before it evolved into the game that will launch in early 2025.

In his session, Ben Fisher will elaborate how the Atomfall team came up with the uniquely British game design and features by enveloping themselves in the game’s setting – a post-apocalyptic version of the Cumbrian countryside – and being brave enough to take risks with a mantra oh “that sounds cool! F*ck it, let’s try it and see if it works in game”. The team found that Atomfall only really began to take shape once they adopted this approach and let their imaginations and influences run wild.

Christian Fonnesbech, CEO and Head of IP, Leverage

Talk title: WORKSHOP: Building Lasting IPs & Brands

Christian Fonnesbech partners with games companies to develop lasting IPs and brands. Recent clients include Bandai Namco, Supermassive, Raw Fury and Funcom. Focus is crafting artistic & strategic roots of a project into lasting global properties. Before this, Christian was Head of IP Development at Nordisk Games.

In his workshop (60 min), you will discover and discuss the critical pillars of IP and brand value creation. The session will explore challenges like uniqueness, ownability, emotional resonance, and competitive positioning. Designed for developers and publishers, this interactive workshop delivers actionable insights on balancing creativity, market demands, and long-term value.
