Assembly is back this week with event doors opening tomorrow for a special four-day event. The gathering, a formative force in Remedy's early years, turns thirty this week with plenty packed in to mark the occasion.
Naturally, Remedy will also be there armed with limited edition Assembly/Remedy t-shirts to mark the anniversary. Revealed on social media this week, the t-shirts are a relaxed sunflower yellow crewneck t-shirt with both logos featured in red neatly on the front with "ASSEMBLY 30 YEARS" underneath. On the back reads the quote "KILL ALL AUDIO AND LIGHTS!!!!!!" a familiar phrase for longtime visitors.
This Friday, two developers at Remedy are also holding their lectures. If you can't make it to the event, you can also watch the livestreams via the Assembly YouTube channel.
