Pavillion for Anifest

The best feature, however, is that a posable action figure of UFO Robot Grendizer made by world famous figures and garage kits manufacturing company Kaiyodo will be available there! Plus, there will be a stage, home to all the entertainment and live performances.

Japanese gaming bringing an unimaginable experience

No kiddin' but the organizing team is bringing a lot of Japanese entertainment down to Games Con and the experience they're promising is undeniably a once-in-a-lifetime! Talking about bringing the Japanese gaming experience to Games Con, Michael Lamprecht, Project Manager at Animania said “There is such a huge demand among the fans in the region for unique and immersive international experiences. The content will be as true to the art form as possible, and the products will be unlike anything available in the UAE. There’s so much cool stuff – including gaming, VR (virtual reality) – in true Japanese fashion. If you go to Japan, it’s so overwhelming so we are working to re-create and reflect that experience.”
