Rebecca Lautner of Landfall to Present at Game Republic New Horizons 2026

Organizers of the Game Republic New Horizons 2026 conference have unveiled their second speaker, Rebecca Lautner, Chief Business Officer at Landfall. Lautner will engage in a fireside chat with features editor Lewis Packwood to delve into Landfall's operations and its newly established publishing arm, Evil Landfall. As Chief Business Officer, Lautner oversees brand development, drives business growth, fosters external partnerships, and manages platform relations at Landfall. Prior to joining the Stockholm-based developer, Lautner led a European Union-funded initiative aimed at creating a global network for knowledge sharing and business development within the gaming industry. "I'm excited to attend the Game Republic New Horizons conference and share our gaming expertise, as well as our thoughts on the future prospects for the gaming industry in Europe and beyond," Lautner stated. Game Republic Managing Director Jamie Sefton expressed his delight at Lautner's participation, citing Landfall's global success with Peak and the studio's expanding role in publishing third-party titles. Lautner joins the previously announced keynote speaker, Ken Kutaragi, known as the 'Father of the PlayStation.' Game Republic established an international advisory board in March to support its 2026 conference, scheduled to take place from October 14 to 16 at Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough. Tickets for the conference are now available, with an early-bird offer available until April 30, 2026. GameIndustry.biz is a media partner of GR New Horizons 2026.
