Richard Garriott has been announced as one of the speakers at Gamelab 2017, which will take place in Barcelona, Spain next month. And not just that:

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti and Ico creator Fumito Ueda will join Richard Garriott in speaking at the Gamelab conference in Barcelona next month, and GamesIndustry.biz has 10 free tickets to give away to our readers.

This year will also see Ultima creator Richard Garriott receive the Spanish Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences’ Honorary Award. Previous recipients include Hideo Kojima, Will Wright and Peter Molyneux.

Well, I suppose it’s not too early to say congratulations to Lord British on his upcoming acknowledgement; it’s an award well-deserved.
