Games Coming Soon!
The Urban Arts Annual Arcade has *everything*—a Fish Gun, The Final Bean, A Witch’s Cat!
Each year our most advanced student cohort—Studio—presents their final games to industry pros for specific, professional feedback. These students have worked in teams all year, collaborating and managing a game launch from pixel to production. Industry partners from AAA to indie studios evaluate the games and offer exposure to—and advice about—working in the digital gaming space, a $2B industry just in NYC.
Stay tuned for June 2025!
