Jonge Historici presents: It\’s all in the Game! Games used as research and field of application for historians

Historical games are becoming more popular and these are being promoted with claims of historical authenticity. Is this claim correct and what does this claim mean? Jonge Historici will dive in the world of historical games! During \’It\’s all in the Game\’ the link between games and history will be examined using different disciplines.

Maarten Collewijn, founder of Collewijn History in Games, who provides historical advice and imagery to game developers. He has worked on games such as Verdun (Blackmill Games/M2H studio) and Divided We Fall (Kava Game studio).
