Milan Games Week & Cartoomics

Milan Games Week & Cartoomics, renowned for its international scope covering video games, esports, tabletop gaming, comics, manga, and animation, is set to make a transformative leap in its 2023 edition. The event, now rebranded as MGWCMX, seeks to become the premier European attraction for pop-culture enthusiasts, with the dates to mark on your calendar being November 24th, 25th, and 26th. The venue is the expansive Rho Fieramilano, spanning pavilions 9, 11, 13, and 15, and tickets are already available for purchase.

In the ever-evolving landscape of pop culture, Milan Games Week & Cartoomics reflects the universal commonality of pop culture as a unifying force. The 2023 edition, designed as an homage to Generation Z, takes inspiration from the artwork of Dutch artist Tom Jilesen. His creation captures a whirlwind of interconnected individuals, defined by their passions, projecting a vision of a liberated and opportunity-rich future.

Undergoing a visual transformation for 2023, Milan Games Week & Cartoomics entrusts its image to Sicilian graphic designer Camara, co-founder of the multidisciplinary collective Câimbra. The new graphic representation features the aerial evolutions of a shinobi, symbolizing the dynamism of this cutting-edge project.

This year's event promises an epic experience with the move to new spaces within the traditional Rho Fieramilano fairgrounds, totaling 38,000 square meters of entertainment—a significant increase from the previous edition. Spread across 4 pavilions, the layout includes themed districts like Studios, Electric Town, and a Gaming Zone, accommodating diverse interests from costuming to anime and free play on hundreds of consoles.

The presence of international luminaries further enriches MGWCMX, with notable figures from the gaming and comics industry. Patrice Desilets, Game Designer of Panache Digital Games, and Sebastian Kalemba, Game Director at CD PROJECT RED, are among the distinguished guests, alongside renowned comics artist Esad Ribic and the legendary Chris Claremont, creator of the iconic X-Men saga.

Star Wars enthusiasts can anticipate the presence of Albin Johnson, founder of the 501st Legion, with MGWCMX hosting the Pink Force Day—a charitable initiative in memory of Johnson's daughter, supporting pediatric health awareness.

With a production collaboration between Fiera Milano and Fandango Club Creators, MGWCMX 2023 promises to be the most immersive and comprehensive edition yet.

Ticket options cater to various preferences, including standard day passes, 3-day passes, and exclusive tiers for fans seeking a distinctive experience. Secure your entry to MGWCMX 2023 at milangamesweek.it and prepare to witness the future of entertainment unfold!
