Electronics and Gaming Expo in Cape Town

Get the inside scoop on all the latest developments in the world of gaming

If your computer is more like a brother than an appliance, and your gaming console is your bestie, or even if you’re just really interested in the world of gaming, then we have good news for you; from Friday, 28 to Sunday, 30 July 2017 the Electronic and Gaming Expo (EGE) will hit the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

This geek paradise will bring all platforms, gear and gadgets under one roof in a showcase of the latest and greatest gizmos and games. Whether you prefer tabletop fantasy games or online local area networking, or even if you just want to hang out dressed as your favourite character, EGE will have something for everyone.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE 2017 ELECTRONICS AND GAMING EXPO IN CAPE TOWN

GAMING GALORE: From PC to consoles and virtual reality; attendees can be sure that every kind of gamer will be accommodated for at this year’s event. Those eager to showcase their skills can participate in the competitive gaming tournaments, set up around the venue, and compete against fellow enthusiasts. Test out the latest gaming stations and gadgets to get a taste of what’s in store for the future.

DRESS UP, IT’S COSPLAY: For those not in the know, ‘cosplay’ refers to costume play associated with performance; fans dress up as their favourite character from different sources (here’s to you manga and anime fans). The EGE plans to host a cosplay competition where cosplayers can go all-out to claim the coveted title.
