This coming week, the mecca of all things geeky will take place once again.
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is going to be the place to be and keep a close eye on if you want new announcements about comic books, movies, anime etc. Also on the schedule for SDCC 2016 are video games. Several big-time video game developers/publishers will be present to showcase their upcoming releases. On top of all that, there’s going to be some video game-themed panels that bleed over into the world of films and associated mass media.
