Last year, L.A. Comic Con expanded into the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. In this area, the event created an expansive gaming, esports and anime experience. The expansion was such a success that they decided to make it even bigger.
The Gaming and Anime Hall will now cover 200,000 square feet making it the largest and fastest growing gaming event currently in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area. L.A. Comic Con hopes to fill the void for video game aficionados after the cancellation of this year’s E3.
Chris DeMoulin, CEO of Comikaze Entertainment Inc. had this to say:
The fan feedback and exhibitor response from Gaming & Anime was so positive in 2022, we had no choice but to expand our offering. 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.
This expansion looks to double the size of the Gaming and Anime Hall from 2022. They also hope to improve on the numbers from last year which included 200 exhibitors, which over 100 were new vendors, and 85,000 attendees. Fans can expect additional gaming-related content on the West Hall Gaming stage from creators, influencers and voice-over actors behind these experiences.
L.A. Comic Con will be held December 1-3, 2023.
