A huge weekend convention combining everything gaming and pop culture is coming to London and is just over the Thames from south east London.

MCM Comic Con and EGX are coming together for the first time at the ExCeL Centre at the Royal Victoria Dock.

Running from Friday, October 25 to Sunday, October 27, this combined celebration of pop culture and gaming promises to be a landmark moment for fans across the country.

MCM Comic Con has long been a staple for pop culture enthusiasts, drawing crowds with its vibrant mix of guests, cosplayers, artists, and exhibitors.

Whether you’re into the epic fantasy worlds of Dungeons & Dragons, the sports comedy of Ted Lasso, or everything in between, MCM offers something for every fan.

The convention is well-known for its broad appeal, attracting attendees from all corners of fandom, and providing a space for people to celebrate what they love most.

EGX, on the other hand, is the UK’s leading gaming convention and has been a must-attend event for players and developers alike.

At EGX, gamers get hands-on access to the latest releases, test out upcoming titles, and engage with their favourite publishers and developers.

This year, TikTok is returning as the headline sponsor, ensuring that fans can also meet popular creators from the platform, adding an extra layer of excitement to the experience.

For the first time, a single ticket will give fans access to both events, allowing attendees to explore the expansive world of comic books, cosplay, and pop culture alongside the immersive environment of gaming.

This co-location marks a historic moment for both conventions and promises a broader range of activities than ever before.

From comic book panels and artist alleys to gaming tournaments and demo sessions, fans can seamlessly navigate between two of the UK’s largest fan gatherings.

Excitingly, the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender will be attending MCM Comic Con, offering fans the chance to meet the stars behind the beloved series.

The animated show, which originally aired between 2005 and 2008, continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide.

Meanwhile, at EGX, fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 are in for a treat as the voice cast from the critically acclaimed RPG will be appearing at the event.

The game, which launched last year and won numerous awards, including Game of the Year at The Game Awards, continues to captivate players with its immersive storytelling and complex character arcs.

Fans will have the unique opportunity to meet the voices behind their favourite characters, bringing them even closer to the game’s rich, fantasy world.

This October’s MCM Comic Con and EGX co-location promises to be a game-changer for fans of all ages, combining the best of pop culture and gaming in one unforgettable weekend.

With an impressive lineup of celebrity guests, a wealth of interactive experiences, and the chance to be part of two iconic conventions with just one ticket, the event is shaping up to be the highlight of the year for many.

Whether you're a lifelong gamer, a dedicated cosplayer, or simply a fan looking to immerse yourself in the world of pop culture, this weekend is set to offer something for everyone.
