April 7th 2025, United Kingdom: Limit Break, the pioneering mentorship scheme dedicated to championing diverse talent and creativity in the UK games industry, has announced the opening of applications for mentors and mentees for its 2025 program.
This will be the seventh year of Limit Break Mentorship, which continues its mission to level up diversity and representation in the games industry through connecting people from underrepresented and minority backgrounds with experienced industry mentors. Founded in 2019 with just 100 members, the organisation has seen rapidly increasing demand for its program, engaging with over 1,600 mentors and mentees in 2024 alone. The scheme offers a unique opportunity for members to develop their skills and knowledge, supporting professional growth and helping to contribute to an industry future that is rich with diversity and passion.
Through a structured six-month mentorship, mentees from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines are matched with experienced volunteer mentors drawn from all corners of the industry. Based on monthly one-to-one meetings, coupled with access to exclusive online events, resources and guidance, the scheme is designed to empower both mentors and mentees to build connections and expand their skills and knowledge, as part of the thriving Limit Break community.
“Everyone at Limit Break is passionate about supporting diverse talent in our industry, and we’re really excited that we are able to run our mentorship program for a seventh year" commented Anisa Sanusi, Founder of Limit Break. Limit Break Director, Dan Thomas, added, "It is a hugely challenging time for the industry at the moment, but we believe mentoring can play a really important role in our current context, far beyond the Limit Break program, by helping our members build long-lasting connections and grow, develop and be inspired as part of an inspiring and supportive community.”
Mentee applications are open to anyone based in the UK and Ireland currently working in the games industry or seeking to enter it, and who identifies as part of a marginalised or underrepresented gender, orientation or ethnicity group, in addition to neurodiverse people and those with disabilities. Applications are welcomed from any prospective mentors with over three years of relevant industry experience.
Potential mentors and mentees can apply now through the Limit Break Mentorship website. Applications are open until midnight, April 25th 2025. www.limitbreak.co.uk
