Matias Myllyrinne is the CEO of Remedy Entertainment and will deliver a keynote speech at this year's event. The Finnish studio is known for such titles as "Max Payne" and "Alan Wake". The team is currently working on the XBOX ONE-exclusive next-gen title, "Quantum Break". Another developer of premium games who has confirmed his participation is Guillaume de Fondaumiere. The co-CEO and Executive Producer at Quantic Dream is responsible for the blockbusters, "Heavy Rain" and "Beyond: Two Souls". His Featured Talk on Thursday, 10 April, is entitled: "AAA Console Productions - A Pain Still Worth It?"

US industry veteran Robert Tercek is a noted speaker who has in the past appeared at the Mobile Games Forum in London and the Game Developer Conference Mobile Symposium. The latter is an event initiated by Tercek himself, spurred by his particular enthusiasm for mobile content. Like Robert Tercek, Bob Bates will hold a Featured Talk. Bates is highly regarded in the games industry as an excellent storyteller. Now working as an independent writer and producer, Bob Bates can look back on a prolific career - including a position as Chief Creative Director at Zynga.

Quo Vadis organizer Stephan Reichart on the latest additions to the speaker roster: "In 2014 we are again relying exclusively on speakers and topics that we know will provide real value to our expert audience. Quo Vadis is Germany's leading forum for an exchange with internationally renowned game developers and for discussions on gaming trends."

Other confirmed speakers at this year's Quo Vadis are Chris Taylor (Wargaming.net), Guido Henkel (G3 Studios) and Don Daglow. Daglow will focus on "A New Kind of Next Gen: Free-to-Play, Console and the Future of Games".
