Celem Magnificon Expo jest nie tylko promocja japońskich tradycji, trendów i dzieł sztuki, ale również kształtowanie polskiej sceny kulturalnej. Gry wideo nie stanowią wprawdzie głównego motywu tego wydarzenia, jednakże pomimo tego festiwal oferuje unikalne spojrzenie na świat gier dzięki konferencjom i panelom dyskusyjnym dotyczącym konkretnych tytułów i serii, kontekstów kulturowych danych gier oraz szeroko rozumianego przemysłu gier wideo.

Jak zwykle, uczestnicy będą mogli odwiedzić strefy tematyczne poświęcone różnym grom wideo. Nie zabraknie CFA Gaming Zone ze świeżutkimi premierami od Xboxa (DOOM: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Avowed), przekąskami Slayer Bites oraz możliwością zrobienia sobie zdjęcia z Duchess z Elden Ring: Nightreign. Będzie również strefa grupy Projekt Genshin, inicjatywy zrzeszającej fanów tego RPG. W ramach tej sekcji zostanie odtworzona wioska z gry, w której będzie można znaleźć charakterystyczne przedmioty, różne zadania, a także znane graczom lokacje. Ponadto, na wydarzenie przygotowana będzie również przestrzeń wypełniona różnymi grami rytmicznymi, tak aby odwiedzający mogli wybrać coś dla siebie spośród szerokiego wachlarza gatunków.

The goal of Magnificon Expo is not only to promote Japanese traditions, trends and works of art, but also to shape Polish cultural scene in general. While video games are not the main focus in that case, the festival still offers an unique insight into the world of gaming with conferences and panel discussions concerning specific titles and franchises, cultural context of those games and also gaming industry in general.

As usual, during this event participants can also attend theme zones dedicated to different kinds of games. There will be a CFA Gaming Zone with fresh Xbox premieres (DOOM: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Avowed), Slayer Bites snacks and photo op with Duchess from Elden Ring: Nightreign. Another attraction will be run by Project Genshin, an initiative that brings together fans of the titular open-world RPG. For this section, they’ll create a real life Genshin village full of characteristic objects, different quests and locations straight from the game. Moreover, there also will be an area filled with rhythm games of all sorts, so that visitors can choose between various kinds of genres.

Unlike your typical gaming conventions, Endix builds an immersive online world where gamers, developers, and brands can hang out in a lively digital expo hall. Imagine custom-made booths, live game demos, and even mini-games, all available to anyone, anywhere, whether you’re in Tokyo or in Toronto. This year, the showcase is really focusing on being easy to access and creative, shining a spotlight on a diverse mix of indie gems and projects backed by bigger publishers.

Selecta Play is showing off Bubble Ghost Remake. They’ll also have Morkull Ragast’s Rage, a 2D Metroidvania and ANTRO, a rhythm-based 2.5D platformer where the music actually powers your rebellion. Then there’s Raw Fury. They’re bringing quite the lineup: Star Trucker, which sounds like a cosmic trucking simulator for space enthusiasts; Esoteric Ebb, a narrative-driven mystery; Ballionaire, a arcade game; Post Trauma, a horror trip that feels like it’s from the PS2 era; and Craftlings, a cozy crafting adventure.

Coming all the way from the Netherlands, Twirlbound are revealing The Knightling, an open-world action-adventure that mixes old-school charm with a modern, polished feel. Hypetrain Digital is bringing Tinkerlands, which drops you onto a mysterious island for a survival crafting adventure. It sounds perfect for playing by yourself or with friends, as you build towns and fight off dangers. And for anyone who loves explosive action, Wargaming’s World of Tanks Blitz will be rolling its tactical tank battles onto the Endix stage.

Nikos Perifanis, Endix’s Product Manager, share his own thoughts about the showcase: “We’re excited to really show off what makes each game special. Endix is all about giving game studios a platform to be noticed and giving players a rich, interactive way to dive into the future of games.”

During the event you can expect live playthroughs of Switch 2 games, likely including titles revealed during the preceding Nintendo Direct. Expect detailed looks at mechanics, controls, and graphical performance. Past Treehouse events have included commentary from developers or staff, providing context on game design and features. While not confirmed, this is likely to continue. It’s unclear if backward-compatible Switch games will be shown running on the new hardware.

Beyond Mario Kart 9, fans hope for glimpses of a new 3D Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, or Metroid Prime 4 (if it’s a cross-gen title). Rumors also swirl around third-party ports or exclusives leveraging the Switch 2’s enhanced capabilities, though Nintendo has kept details under wraps.

Dates and Times:

• April 3, 2025, at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. BST / 4:00 p.m. CEST.
