The Homecoming Call For Northern Ireland's Gaming Industry!

13 April, 2021

Northern Ireland’s Ever-growing Game Industry

"As my mother would say, I’ve been mucking about with computers in this industry for the last 20 years," recalls Londonderry-born Sean McCafferty.

He is now the chief operating officer at Hypixel Studios, one of Northern Ireland’s highest-profile gaming companies.

After the announcement of its block-based fantasy game, Hytale, the company was bought by one of the world’s biggest game publishers, Riot Games.

ā€œWhen I started I never could have imagined that gaming would be bigger than the movie and music industry combined,ā€ he said.

Hypixel Studios is now working with NI Screen on incentives to encourage people to work in Northern Ireland’s growing game industry.
