Aeternus Games Summit to Gather Christian Game Developers in Los Angeles
Industry professionals from Sony, EA, and Riot Games will convene to integrate faith with professional craft.
The Aeternus Games Summit will convene on August 15, 2026, in Los Angeles to support Christians working within the video game industry. The gathering aims to provide a dedicated space for developers, artists, and designers to integrate their faith with their professional output.
Scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the summit will be hosted at Evergreen Los Angeles, located at 2045 S Barrington Ave. The event features a lineup of professionals from several of the world's most prominent gaming companies, including Sony Interactive, Riot Games, EA Games, Insomniac Games, and Blizzard. General admission tickets are priced at $25, while students and recent graduates can attend for $12.50.
Bridging Faith and Industry
For many believers in the gaming sector, the industry is often perceived as a secular environment where personal faith is compartmentalized from professional duties. Aeternus—a name derived from the Latin word for "eternal"—is designed as a hybrid of a church gathering and a thought-leadership summit. To broaden its reach and support structure, the event has partnered with organizations such as FaithTech and the Hollywood Prayer Network.
Elevating Professional Craft
By connecting talent from AAA studios with indie creators, the summit seeks to move beyond simple networking. According to the official Aeternus Games Summit site, the goal is to "embolden and equip Christians working in the games industry through fellowship, craft excellence, and innovation." This focus on craft excellence suggests an effort to elevate the quality of faith-based interactive storytelling and provide a professional support network for those who may feel isolated in high-pressure corporate environments.
Future Outlook
The summit represents a growing, organized effort to create a niche community for faith-driven developers. As the industry continues to evolve, the event serves as a benchmark for how professional excellence and religious conviction can coexist in the technical arts. Attendees will look to the insights from the Sony and EA representatives to determine how these principles can be applied within the constraints of major studio production pipelines.
