Albion Arena

Albion Arena is a competitive fighting game tournament dedicated to showcasing the games that are run by their passionate communities and the communities themselves. Featuring Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as its main title and joined by other smaller fighting games such as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Under Night In-Birth II and many more. These tournaments all have no funding from their parent companies, showcasing just what can be created with nothing but passion for the hobby. 

It’s free to come along and spectate, and there will be free play areas for casual gamers. You can also sign up for talks from those within the ‘Fighting Game Community’, who have managed to turn their passion into a career.

Albion Games Ltd will be running the Albion Arena

The director behind the company, Tom ‘GP’ Scott, got their start running fighting game tournaments which eventually turned it into the Albion Games Café, based in Norwich City Centre, which is home to many different tournaments, communities and meetups on a regular basis.

This event is a spiritual successor to the ‘Albion’ Smash Bros tournament series which saw its last iteration in 2019, hosted at the Emirates Stadium.
