The Quebec Video Game Guild (La Guilde du jeu vidéo du Québec) announced that November 14 will be dedicated to a province‑wide campaign aimed at promoting video games created in Quebec. The initiative, presented by guild representative Émilien Roscanu, seeks to raise the profile of locally produced titles and to rally support from industry stakeholders and the public.
The campaign day will feature a series of events, showcases, and marketing activities designed to highlight the diversity and quality of Quebec‑made games. Organisers intend the day to serve as a focal point for developers, publishers, and ancillary businesses to demonstrate the sector’s contributions to the cultural and economic landscape of the province.
Quebec’s video‑game industry is a significant cultural export, employing more than 15,000 people across development studios, support services, and related fields. The sector is recognized as one of the world’s five major video‑game hubs, a status that reflects both its creative output and its economic weight. Recent reports of job losses within the industry have prompted the guild to emphasize the need for continued visibility and investment.
By concentrating attention on November 14, the guild hopes to counteract the impact of those layoffs and to underscore the sector’s overall growth. The day will also provide opportunities for networking, talent recruitment, and potential partnerships, reinforcing Quebec’s position in the global gaming market.
Industry observers note that the initiative aligns with broader efforts to sustain and expand the province’s creative economy. While the campaign is focused on a single day, its organizers anticipate lasting benefits for developers and associated businesses, as well as increased recognition of Quebec’s contribution to the international video‑game community.
The Quebec Video Game Guild invites gamers, media, and partners to participate in the November 14 activities, aiming to showcase the province’s vibrant gaming culture and to support its workforce amid ongoing challenges.
