My MAMG 2026 article is out! Check out the way in which counterfactual modding explores new layers of video game historiography through the CK3 The Winter King mod adapted from Cornwell's books. Don't hesitate to go and read other MAMG 2026 articles, I'll be answering questions in the coming days :)

This is happening! 🤩 If you're interested in #medievalism, this international congress in Paris will be the place to be next November! I will be talking about translations in medievalism, and how our studies could be more international. #medievalsky

The CfP for the upcoming #MAMG26 is now live! The event will take place on 5-7 Oct, assynchronously and online. Come join us from anywhere in the world to discuss medievalisms in games and alternative approaches to the ludic past.

In a time of growing political and environmental anxieties, the Middle Ages are often sought as a source of inspiration for alternative futures. Ecologically-minded games like Of Life and Land look to the medieval past to explore alternative, non-exploitative engagements with nature. Medievalist RPGs have long served as possibility spaces for players to interrogate and experiment with notions of sexuality, gender, and identity more broadly. Games like Scriptorium and Traveller’s Rest imagine medieval pasts divorced from the logics of violence often associated with the period. Medievalist fantasy games like Metaphor: ReFantazio openly engage with utopian thinking and our capacities to imagine possible worlds.

We invite analytical ‘papers’ (comprising 400-500 words of text or 5-minute videos) and sessions of 3 to 5 papers which address any aspects of the medieval period or medievalism in any and all forms of modern games. We particularly welcome papers addressing the central conference themes of ‘Possible Worlds’ and ‘Possible Pasts’. The conference will be conducted remotely and there will be no registration fee. To promote accessibility and inclusivity, the event runs asynchronously across time zones.

We encourage submissions from medievalists, games scholars and developers at any point in their career— especially those from Postgraduate Students, Early Career Researchers and members of any groups under-represented within the academy and industry. We welcome pieces addressing any region globally, and within a broad definition of ‘medieval’ and ‘medievalism’.

We are able to accept papers in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

Please send abstracts of no more than 200 words, brief biographies, and indications of time zone and availability as attachments in Word to midagesmodgames@gmail.com by Sunday 3 August.

La captation vidéo du colloque "Périodisations historiques et synchronies imaginaires" de l'ANR PASSIM est en ligne ! J'ai eu l'occassion d'y présenter une partie de mes recherches, «Le haut Moyen Âge dans le jeu vidéo : “post-apo” de l’Antiquité ou préface téléologique au Moyen Âge central ?» 1/2
