Landfall's Rebecca Lautner announced as speaker at Game Republic New Horizons 2026

Briefing

Game Republic has added Rebecca Lautner, Landfall’s chief business officer, as its second speaker for New Horizons 2026. She’ll join a fireside chat with Lewis Packwood about Landfall’s operations and its new publishing division, Evil Landfall. That makes this more than a general conference appearance: it’s a chance to hear how a studio known for hits like Peak is thinking about scaling its business model.

For developers, the useful angle is the shift from making successful games to building the infrastructure around them—brand, partnerships, platform relations, and third-party publishing. Lautner’s background also includes leading an EU-funded initiative focused on global knowledge exchange and business development, so the session should have a broader European industry lens, not just a single-studio case study. The conference runs October 14-16 at Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough, with early-bird tickets available until April 30, 2026.

“sharing our games experience and thoughts on the future opportunities for the games industry in Europe and beyond”
