Guests:

Also worthy of special mention are the unusual guests attending this year’s Pyrkon. Borislav Slavov, a well-known music composer, will give a lecture on Friday, and will also provide us with a small demonstration of his musical talent. This is a unique opportunity to meet this talented artist in person.

Another unique highlight of the Gaming Zone at Pyrkon 2023 will be an unforgettable piano concert to be held at the Earth Hall. It will star Paul Anthony Romero himself – creator of the epic music for the iconic “Heroes of Might and Magic III.” Romero, known for his incredible musical talent, will take us on a musical journey through the magical worlds of this legendary game. His compositions, which have accompanied many players as they conquer fantastic lands, will be brought to life in a live performance by the piano master. This is a unique opportunity to hear these pieces in their full glory and feel their power first hand.

We also can’t forget about the phenomenal team of creators who created the “Chronicles of Myrtana.” They will be present at Pyrkon, ready to share their experiences and talk about the process of creating this unique universe. An added treat will be the Nerds Kitchen crew, who assisted the developers and threw their two cents into the culinary part of this game. Look for them at their lectures or at their Q&A session in the Spire.

Since the release of The Witcher 3, the tvgry channel has produced a lot of material dedicated to this iconic production from CD PROJEKT RED. Some may ask: is that all there is to it? The tvgry panel, however, does not intend to limit itself to the beaten path. Members of the channel will provide you with a behind-the-scenes look at their work, talk about their use of popular gaming themes, and reflect on exploring new avenues on YouTube. Moreover, they will try to avoid answering the question that has been bothering fans for a long time: 3 The Witcher 3 the best?

Of course, these are not all the guests who will visit the Gaming Zone at this year’s Convention! Pyrkon 2023 is the perfect place for all gaming enthusiasts. The Gaming Zone attracts attendees with its variety of attractions, from retro gaming to the latest trends.
