Asynchronous Conference

The 2026 Middle Ages in Modern Games Asynchronous Conference is happening now, from Monday 5th to Wednesday 7th of October! You can find the full programme here with times (in UTC+1) for all papers, which will be updated with links as the conferences progresses.

The Middle Ages in Modern Games Asynchronous conference (formerly the Middle Ages in Modern Games Twitter conference) is an annual event which brings together a host of game developers, game scholars, medievalists and medieval historians from around the world to talk about any and all aspects of the Middle Ages or medievalism in games of any variety. Recent events have featured around 50 speakers and reached a peak audience of over 100,000 people. Our organising committee, comprised of scholars from across the globe, can be seen here.

Each participant delivers a ‘paper’ in the form of a 400-500 word written piece or a 5-minute video about any aspect of their recent, current, or forthcoming work. The papers are posted on the conference website over the course of the event, and are available to access publicly and free of charge. Questions and comments are welcome from everyone during and after the conference.

The papers from previous asynchronous conferences have been compiled and are presented within a growing series of conference proceedings, which are available Open Access. They provide a useful and accessible introduction and summary of ongoing and embryonic research throughout this diverse and growing field, and serve as important teaching and research materials.

You can also still access the previous programmes for the MAMG conferences we have hosted on our website with links to each paper: MAMG 2024 and MAMG 2025. The comments section on each paper will be kept live for ongoing discussion.
