If it's games that you're after, the publisher has them in spades, including playable versions of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, Kingdom Hearts III, Life Is Strange 2, The Quiet Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

There will also be giveaways, including a limited edition Shadow of the Tomb Raider Xbox One X console that will tie in with an Instagram relic hunt, along with Just Cause 4 merchandise, Dragon Quest XI posters and t-shirts, and so much more.

There will also be a number of panels to learn more about your favorite games, including Life Is Strange 2 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. There's also a Life is Strange 2 party hosted by the What's Good Games ladies, if you're interested.
