UKIE has announced that there’ll be no London Games Festival this year, but has said it intends to have it return next year alongside the 2012 Olympics. UKIE said this morning it was planning to have a “major commitment” to the event next year, as well as a partnership with TIGA, which went undetailed. Despite there being no LGF this year, events which normally form the event will still happen, including Eurogamer Expo at the end of September and Intent’s London Games Conference in November.

Thanks, GI.

The fourth annual London Games Festival has been dated for October 24th, according to organizer ELSPA.

“The 2008 London Games Festival was a major success,” stated director general Michael Rowlinson. “With the rise in popularity of videogames in the UK I’m sure this year’s Festival will be a great draw and fun for everyone.

“The festival is already taking shape well. The Government, media and the public took great interest last year and we look forward to welcoming them all back.”

Loads of panels are expected, along with GI.biz career fair.

Here’s what we know so far:

• London MCM Expo – October 24 and 25, Excel, East London
• London Games Conference – October 27, Bafta, Central London
