PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania – June 21, 2021 – Belong Gaming Arenas has opened the doors to its latest esports and gaming center in King of Prussia, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“Gaming has expanded to become so much more in the last several years – it’s now a way to learn, socialize, and stay connected with others,” said Mary Antieul, VP of Strategy, Belong Gaming Arenas. “Philadelphia has a strong gaming culture, and we’re excited to provide a safe and inclusive environment at Belong so that it continues to grow.”
