GAMING ATTRACTIONS

You've heard them during halo jumps, monster hunts, and big boss battles. Now, it's time to meet the actors behind your fave characters. Gaming voice actors will be on hand to sign autographs, pose for photos, and meet with their fans. Gaming guest announcements coming soon.

Listen in and participate in all of our gaming sessions. From discussions, debates, and "how-to" conversations, there's something for everyone. Check the schedule closer to the show to find out when and where the fun is happening.

This isn’t just game day—it’s your game day. Room 389-390 is where strategies collide, laughter echoes, and fandom friendships are forged. Whether you’re rolling the dice or nailing that bean bag toss, it’s about the vibe, the competition, and the people. Bring your best—or just bring yourself. The Friendiverse Lounge is ready when you are.
