“These last two years of the pandemic have been so hard for so many, but gaming has always brought communities together both online and in person. To partner with A-Kon this year will help us deliver the ultimate weekend to gaming and anime fans in Dallas,” said DreamHack VP Strategy & Growth Shahin Zarrabi. “The DreamHack experience truly has no equal — coming together and playing together brings a tremendous opportunity to our Dallas community.”
“As the longest running anime centric event in North America, we’re excited to be back from the two year break caused by the pandemic. Our core mission has always been creating memorable, immersive experiences for our fans,” said A-Kon Executive Chairman Chris Terrell. “Partnering with Dreamhack this year allows the both of us to provide an unparalleled and unrivaled fan experience to the anime community.”
The three-day, immersive, gaming lifestyle festival will return to Dallas for the ultimate weekend experience with the first full-scale DreamHack festival in nearly 2.5 years.
