Over the weekend, gaming fans made their way to the Magic Box at The Reef in Los Angeles for the third annual IGN Live.
The two-day event delivered some special panels, some celebrity appearances, and a boatload of prizes. The main stage featured a slew of conversations with folks such as Deli Boys, New Rockstars, and Rick and Morty voice actors Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden. Fans were able to meet names such as Kevin Owens, Patricia Summersett, and Brendan Wayne at the meet and greet section. Throughout the event, fans also got a glimpse at a slew of new games announced over the weekend, including Barbie Rewind and Persona 6.
In between waiting for panels and meet and greet opportunities, attendees got to play a plethora of games such as 007: First Light and WWE 2K26 in the gaming room. Gamers were also able to try out Backyard Baseball before its July launch and the forthcoming rhythm game Stage Tour. Those looking for some nostalgia hung out at the retro arcade section featuring games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II.
