- Tournaments & eSports: From fighting games to shooters and rhythm games – often with prizes and rankings.
- Retro Gaming: Arcade cabinets, classic consoles, and nostalgia zones for old-school vibes.
- Panels & Talks: Developer talks, community sessions, voice actors, streaming, and game design.
- Cosplay & Gaming: Photo spots, contests, or themed areas dedicated to famous video game franchises.
