ESGS or Electronic Sports and Gaming Summit returns this year for new games, new thrills and more importantly elevating gaming and e-sports to the next level. And they’re not alone, they’ve brought in frequent partner PLDT Home Fibr to help bring this one of a kind event to our shores.

There’s a ton of things that you gamers and game enthusiasts can expect from this event

PLDT Home Fibr

Of course PLDT would be present and make huge impact for ESGS 2016 with new developments and an exciting booth. Consumers looking for the fastest internet connection, correction, the #strongestconnections can definitely learn more about Fibr when they visit the booth.

Also a couple of ESGS x PLDT Home Fibr promotions:

Top Games Showcased (Including Tekken 7)

This year, all the heavy hitting game publishers will be making an appearance (of sorts). We’ve got Capcom who will be sampling Resident Evil 7 and Ubisoft who will be bringing in Just Dance 2017. More importantly, Bandai Namco will also be present to let people try Tekken 7

And as a “pahabol” Super Evil Megacorp will also be joining the fray to introduce the hit mobile game Vainglory.

MSI and Rigging

Just like last year and the year before that MSI will once again return to show visitors the newest and the best in hardware technology. It’s become a tradition for us to attend their panels and this year is not an exception especially since they have featured some of the best gaming laptops this year.

There’s also that PC rig mod panel which will be spearheaded by people from the local rig modder community.  Yes, attending ESGS will take you one step further to your dream ‘Monster PC’.

Prepare to Brawl in Brawlfest

We have a strong FGC or Fighting Game Community here in Manila which is why ESGS will be the hotbed of activity for fighting games. We also have to thank groups and companies like Playbook, Imperium, Cosmic Gorgons and of course, our friends from Pinoy PS or Pinoy Playstation. So if you’re a big fan and/or you consider yourself a decent fighting gamer then sign up for tourneys for games which include Mortal Kombat XL, Street Fighter V, Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost, Super Smash Bros. and KOF XIV.

There’s also Cosplay, care of Anime Alliance

Two things that really are the proverbial “cherries” on top for the Electronic Sports and Gaming Summit 2016 would be the Indie Arena

… as well as the organizers being able to bring in IGA (Koji Igarashi) who will be heavily promoting the game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Who is IGA you ask? He’s just the assistant director for a famous Playstation game you might be familiar with, its called Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

IGA was also the producer to the succeeding Castlevania games starting with Castlevania Chronicles up to Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Now continuing his new project in a new company, Igarashi launched a crowdsourcing campaign for Bloodstained last year and it became the second most funded Kickstarter project for video games.
