There will also be a Cosplay Contest with special guest judges and, for the first time, dioramas for photo opps, and an art gallery with works from the history of the FGC to round out the Show Floor. The Evo Showcase returns with a dedicated stage for publisher panels, game reveals, and exhibitions to let the FGC know what to expect for the future of fighting games.
