The Games Art Auction that marked the finale of the London Games Festival raised over £30,000 for the SpecialEffect charity, UKIE has announced.
The art, which was first shown as part of a free exhibition at City Hall back in October, included never-before-seen images from titles like Batman: Arkham City, Tomb Raider, Dishonored and Guild Wars 2.
SpecialEffect is a charity that IGN has worked with in the past, and can't recommend highly enough. You can find out more about the work they do on their website. The charity's aim is to help children with disabilities have a better quality of life through video games, which often requires adapting existing technology so it can be enjoyed by everyone.
Though it's too late to add your bid, if you missed the art the first time round you can still check it out in this pretty extensive gallery. We also interviewed UKIE CEO Jo Twist back when the auctions first started about the state of the British games industry and what the increased prominence of the London Games Festival meant for the future. If you've got even a passing interest in homegrown games or want to get into the industry yourself, it's well worth a read.
