British Esports has announced its plans to increase investment in the state-of-the-art National Esports Performance Campus (NEPC), the UK’s most advanced esports and education performance and training centre.

To complement the globally-recognised esports facilities, capable of attracting and developing the UK’s very best esports and creative talent, British Esports has announced it has now acquired a multi-purpose entertainment venue, as well as brand new esports and gaming accommodation.

Combined with the multi-functional sporting, creative and educational facility, the National Esports Performance Campus, now a multi-site venue, represents a multi-million-pound investment in the city of Sunderland and takes the total footprint to over 30,000 sq.ft.

Located within easy reach of the NEPC, the hub and the Grade II listed townhouses are situated in a conservation area, first established in the 17th century. Split over four floors and currently undergoing extensive renovation and internal refurbishment to restore them to separate residential dwellings, the esports and gaming houses are scheduled to open in late Spring 2023.

Providing accommodation for up to 25 people, the fully self-contained properties will feature separate living and leisure areas, plus a cutting edge digital performance and gaming room, kitted out with the very latest in gaming and creative technology.

Designed to stimulate team and player performance as well as a healthy, balanced lifestyle, the fully managed accommodation alongside the National Esports Performance Campus will seek to deliver greater success on the international esports stage.

The National Esports Performance Campus, scheduled to open in late 2023, is an 11,000 sq.ft esports training and educational complex, split across two floors, featuring state-of-the art creative, educational, coaching and training facilities, with provision for over 150 students.

The venue will feature the very latest in digital and computing technology, a 100 seater esports arena, dedicated esports stage, classrooms, performance and training rooms, broadcast and content production facilities, sim racing and much more.

As a founding member of the Global Esports Federation, British Esports will be the first amongst its 120 members to have its own dedicated esports campus, ensuring that the UK is continuing to lead the development of esports education, infrastructure and opportunity.

“We are proud to be making a significant investment in Sunderland and the North East with a new multi-site venue capable of attracting and developing the digital forward society of tomorrow. We are excited to be developing infrastructure for the UK esports ecosystem, but, as part of the UK’s national levelling up campaign, we are equally thrilled that the people of the North East will have an incredible facility on their doorstep,” said Andy Payne OBE, Chair, British Esports.

“Sunderland is a hugely ambitious city, and one that fully embraces the transformative power of digital to bring communities together, so it is fitting that a sport that is built on digital and technology is investing so significantly here. British Esports’ investment in Riverside Sunderland with its Performance Campus and in Sunniside with the gaming accommodation, fits perfectly with our regeneration programme, which is transforming both of these parts of the city centre, and we’re delighted to be working closely with them to support them with their plans,” said Councillor Graeme Miller, leader of Sunderland City Council.

George Miller (Gyorgy Molnar) started his career in content marketing and has started working as an Editor/Content Manager for our company in 2016. George has acquired many experiences when it comes to interviews and newsworthy content becoming Head of Content in 2017. He is responsible for the news being shared on multiple websites that are part of the European Gaming Media Network.

Stakelogic summons Soul Slayer – a duel between slayer and demon

Enter the Demon World this Halloween with Stakelogic’s newest blockbuster slot

Stakelogic is closing out spooky season in style with Soul Slayer, a gripping slot experience where every spin becomes a battle for survival. Set in a world consumed by demonic forces, Soul Slayer challenges players to embrace their inner warrior and strike back with precision, fury, and Wild-filled rewards.

At Soul Slayer’s core is the unique Rumble Reels mechanic, where opposing champions clash directly on the reels. Characters engage in real-time battles, interacting with symbols and gathering rewards as the fight unfolds.

In the base game, the Slayer acts as a special Wild symbol that appears only on reel 1. When it lands alongside Demons, it triggers the Wild Slayer Feature, transforming matching Demon symbols into Wilds or Multiplier Wilds worth up to x5. Meanwhile, the Incursion Feature can open up to 20 portals mid-spin, flooding the reels with high-value Demon symbols. When the Slayer appears, the two features collide for devastating win potential.

When four or more Scatters appear, players are transported to the Combat Free Spins Feature, a three-tiered gauntlet where each victory brings them closer to the final showdown. Defeat waves of Demons to unlock Boss fights against the Minotaur, Cerberus, and the fearsome Dragon Lord. Each duel heightens the intensity, rewarding accuracy and perseverance.

During Combat Free Spins, Special Symbols introduce tactical depth: Attack symbols pull Coins or Coin Multipliers from their row before striking their Demon opponent, while Heal symbols offer reprieve when the battle turns fierce.

For players eager to face the Demon World head-on, the Buy Bonus feature allows instant access to the Combat Free Spins round for 100x the base bet, while Super Stake can be activated to double the chance of triggering Free Spins.

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Soul Slayer is our most ambitious fantasy release to date, capturing the feeling of taking on impossible odds and turning them in your favour. Every feature is designed to make the player feel powerful: from slaying Demons mid-spin to facing down monstrous Bosses in Combat Free Spins. It’s about surviving the onslaught, mastering the mechanics, and ultimately walking away victorious.”
