Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! 🥳 Game Con Canada 2025 is ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY! 🗓️ That’s right, folks, prepare yourselves for the most mid event of the year! All the “important” information has been revealed, like how you can waste your precious time and money attending. 💸 Seriously, who even goes to these things? 🤔
The countdown is ON! 🚨 Game Con Canada 2025 is creeping closer, and the masterminds behind this spectacle have deigned to release almost all the deets. 🙄 Apparently, each year they try to one-up themselves. This year, it’s “Game Con Canada Powered by Telus,” because nothing screams “gaming” like a telecom company sponsorship! 📞 Expect the usual suspects: thousands of gamers (mostly awkward teens), “industry professionals” (aka people handing out flyers), and “pop culture icons” (has-beens clinging to relevance). 🤡 They promise potential world premieres of new titles – probably some shovelware no one will remember next week – esports competitions filled with try-hards, and cosplay that ranges from impressive to deeply disturbing. 🫣 Don’t believe me? Check out the latest promo video below. I dare you to watch it without cringing. 😬
This year’s celebrity guest list is truly a sight to behold! ✨ We’ve got Matthew Lillard (aka Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, eternally typecast), Alyson Tabbitha (the official cosplay contest host, because apparently that’s a real job), Steven Ogg (best known for screaming in Grand Theft Auto V), Mark Meer (Commander Shepard, now reduced to signing autographs at conventions), and…many more! 🎊 Get ready to pay exorbitant amounts for a blurry photo and a signature you’ll probably regret. 🤳
But wait, there’s MORE! 🎉 Get hyped for the eSports tournaments! 🎮 Witness the nail-biting action in games like Valorant (because CS:GO is so last decade), Marvel Rivals (a blatant attempt to cash in on the superhero craze), Fortnite (which you can play for FREE, because who would pay for that anymore?), Super Smash Bros. (still a thing?), and TEKKEN 8 (button-mashing at its finest). 🕹️ Prepare to be amazed by the sheer skill and strategy…or just watch people yell at their screens. 🗣️
But it’s not all about video games, folks! 🎲 GCC 2025 also boasts a “plethora” of board games, tabletop RPGs, and TCG open events. 🤓 TAP GAMES will be showcasing events with the upcoming Magic: the Gathering Final Fantasy Universes Beyond set, because apparently nerds have too much money and not enough sense. 💸 So, if you’re looking to express your love for Final Fantasy or Magic: the Gathering, this is the place to be…or you could just stay home and play online. 🤔
If you’re still considering attending this dumpster fire 🔥, you can head over to the official GCC 2025 website to figure out how to watch or participate in these “ticketed play events.” 🎟️ Because nothing says “fun” like paying extra for the privilege of playing a game. 🙄
How to Throw Your Money Away at Game Con Canada 2025
Admission to this glorious gathering of mediocrity is, of course, through the official ticketing website. 💻 The event is open to fans of ALL ages, so bring your screaming toddlers and angsty teenagers! 👶 General admission lets you experience the “full length” of the event, which basically means wandering around aimlessly and bumping into sweaty cosplayers. 🚶 You’ll also get to play “hundreds of games” from video game studios and board game developers – mostly demos and early access titles that are buggy and uninspired. 🐛 And don’t forget those ticketed play events! 🎟️ Because why have fun for free when you can pay for it? 🤷♀️
Game Con Canada will be gracing the Edmonton EXPO Centre from June 13 to June 15. 🗓️ Tickets are “still available,” which probably means they’re not selling very well. 📉 If you’re desperate to attend, you can head over to the ticketing website and secure your spot in line for disappointment. 🤡 Don’t say I didn’t warn you! ⚠️
