L.A. Comic Con’s gaming hall was a highlight of 2022’s event, hosting over 200 exhibitors and 85,000 attendees to the hall watching live esports tournaments and influencers streaming elements - punctuated by an epic League of Legends tournament on its gaming stage. With an 80% 3-star plus rating from fans, attendees to 2023's event will once again have the opportunity to play and experience the latest games, consoles, and technology in the gaming industry.

"The fan feedback and exhibitor response from Gaming & Anime was so positive in 2022, we had no choice but to expand our offering" said Chris DeMoulin, CEO of Comikaze Entertainment Inc. "While we were all disappointed to learn that E3 would not be returning to L.A. this year, we wanted to remind the fans and gaming exhibitors that L.A. Comic Con now provides the biggest and best range of video games, activations, creators, and talent for passionate gaming fans in the area. We're excited to help gaming companies place their products in front of thousands of those fans in 2023, which will see us double the size of our Gaming & Anime area. With continuing fan support, there is no limit to how big this can become.”

In 2022, LA Comic Con hosted over 100 new vendors across more than 100,000 square feet in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, which was the home base for its gaming and anime attractions. The event featured a free-play gaming area for attendees with competitive offerings while also providing a platform for exhibitors, publishers, game developers, and artists in the gaming and anime industry. With the recent announcement of E3’s cancellation, gaming companies will still be able to get in front of the eyes of consumers at LA Comic Con, as the show continues to be a premier event in the gaming industry. The event is dedicated and committed to supporting the industry's top developers, publishers, and artists.
