Cygames to Show Off Shadowverse and Granblue Fantasy at PAX East and Anime Expo
TOKYO – February 14, 2018 – Cygames has announced that it will be giving North American gamers a glimpse of its groundbreaking RPG Granblue Fantasy, and showing off its smash-hit esports title Shadowverse later this year. The Japanese game developer will be bringing both titles to PAX East in Boston and later to Anime Expo in Los Angeles.
Having brought an angry carrot to a series of conferences and events across the globe in 2017, Cygames is upping the ante this year by bringing more games, more cosplay, more swag, more everything to North America to provide gamers with a gluttony of videogaming gratification.
At both PAX East (April 5-8) and Anime Expo (July 5-8), there will be Shadowverse showmatches to take part in, swag to grab, demos to play, anime to watch, and much, much more. Anybody who turns up to the event in Cygames-themed cosplay can get hold of exclusive gifts, while Shadowverse illustrator Kazashino will be drawing live at the event – and you can vote for what he will draw on the official Shadowgames Facebook page (https://www.Facebook.com/shadowversegame/).
Attendees will also be able to find out the latest news about the Shadowverse Open, the Shadowverse esports league, which offers cash prizes, piles of prestige, and the chance to take part in the World Grand Prix at the end of the year – first prize a cool million dollars.
So be sure to book your tickets to PAX East and Anime Expo soon so you don't miss out on the chance to chat to leading Shadowverse players, creators, and cosplayers, and to pick up some of the exclusive merchandise that will be distributed as prizes and giveaways. And stay tuned for forthcoming news and announcements to find out more details about both events.
