Bucharest, September 17, 2024 – RBJ – Bucharest Gaming Week, the event that brings together gamers and the newest and most popular games of the moment, will take place for nine days, from October 5th to October 13th, 2024, in a hybrid format, both physically and online. The central event of the eighth edition takes place at the Palace of the Parliament on 12th and 13th of October. In the three imposing halls, Unirii, Take Ionescu and I.I.C Brătianu, gamers will meet Romania’s most popular streamers, compete in dozens of competitions and watch the hottest esports demonstrative matches.
“We will definitely bring the most popular games for the Romanian gamers this year as well. We’re talking about Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, FC 25, newly launched at that time, Brawl Stars or Minecraft. The first FC 25 competitions organized in Romania will take place at Bucharest Gaming Week. There will also be other new games, some who have premiered just a few weeks ago at Gamescom. We thus aim to position the gaming event in Bucharest as the most important of the fall in central and eastern Europe,” said Tudor Dăescu, co-organizer of Bucharest Gaming Week.

Competitions will cover Romania’s most popular games among young people: Fortnite, Minecraft, Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, EA FC 25, League of Legends, Stumble Guys, Brawl Stars and many more. There will also be the mobile arena, which will give participants the chance to compete on dozens of high-performance gaming phones.
After its success in 2023, the treasure hunt returns with even more challenges for those attending. They will have the mission to uncovering all the clues in the Palace of Parliament and conquering the levels to go home with as many prizes as possible.
