The Northern Controller: February 2026 | Why The Canadian Gaming Scene is Ready to Explode!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the very first issue of The Northern Controller! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started this newsletter because, while we all see the global headlines, Canada is a massive engine in the gaming world that often gets grouped into "North America" without a second thought. From the massive voxel worlds being built in Vancouver to the psychological horror creeping out of Toronto and Montreal, our homegrown talent is world-class.

Every month, I’ll be bringing you the biggest wins, the weirdest indies, and the events where we can all actually hang out. Let’s dive into our first-ever February update.
