Overwatch, Final Fantasy 15 Confirmed For This Year's MomoCon

The first details on this year's MomoCon event have been announced. Event organizers announced today that the show, now in its thirteenth year, will run May 25-28 in Atlanta, Georgia, featuring a keynote address from developers who worked on Final Fantasy XV.

Senior game designer Takatsugu Nakazawa and global brand manager Raio Mitsuno will give the keynote. Additionally, composer Naoshi Mizuta will have a presence at MomoCon during a Final Fantasy orchestral performance slated for the last day of the show.

In terms of panels, Blizzard will attend MomoCon to talk about Overwatch. Visual effects artist Rachel Day and community manager Josh Engen will host a panel, while another panel will include voice actors such as Charlet Chung (D. Va), Matthew Mercer (McCree), Jonny Cruz (Lucio), and Fred Tatasciore (Soldier 76). Overwatch lead writer Michael Chu will moderate that panel.

MomoCon 2017 will also feature two Wizards of the Coast panels, the first of which will "focus on inclusivity in Magic through story, art, and the ways that fiction and games can impact real life." The other panel will touch on "the story of Amonkhet, the Gatewatch and what's next for the Multiverse of Magic: The Gathering."

On top of the panels, HTC will attend MomoCon to provide demos for the Vive virtual reality headset. Developer Blue Mammoth Games will show off its fighting game Brawlhalla, while 14 other unnamed developers have committed to the show. On top of that, 20 finalists from the MomoCon Indie Game Awards will be on show.

MomoCon 2017 takes place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend. Single- and multi-day tickets are available here, while some of the panels and events will be broadcast live on Twitch.
