Fans of gaming, professional esports teams and cosplayers better get plenty of sleep before they head out for DreamHack and the Hi-Rez Expo. During this 24-hour-a-day, three-day festival, attendees can indulge their passion for cosplay, meet developers and pro gamers, and enjoy a full schedule of live music.
“DreamHack is an experience like no other, showing how far gaming has come and how it reaches into our daily lifestyle,” says Justin Burnham, DreamHack’s global creative director.
“The traditional elements of an esports/gaming event are in full effect, and will include the Hi-Rez Expo.” The expo features big development updates from all Hi-Rez Studios games, playable stations, in-game swag and more. But it’s just a fraction of all there is to see and do at DreamHack. “We want attendees to leave the event with something memorable so they crave more and never want to miss a show,” says Burnham.
