Overview

• ARD has created a formal network to coordinate videogame initiatives across its regional broadcasters.
• Südwestrundfunk will coordinate the network, building on prior titles including chat-based Tatort games, Nachrichtenmacher, and the VR project GreenGuardiansVR.
• Participants named at launch include HR, BR, MDR, WDR, and NDR alongside SWR.
• Decisions on specific game developments remain with the individual Landesrundfunkanstalten despite the new framework.
• A joint ARD stand at Gamescom serves as the first cross-broadcaster project under the network.
