It’s been over two years for the reason that Game of Thrones TV present’s contentious ultimate episode aired. It’s been greater than a decade since George R.R. Martin’s A Dance With Dragons, the newest novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire collection, was revealed. Oh, and there’s a worldwide pandemic that seems to have entered Round 3. But apart from these causes, why not begin up the primary official Game of Thrones Con?

Yep, you learn this proper; the inaugural “Official Fan Convention” (who precisely would the con be for if not the followers?) will ostensibly be coming to Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 18-20, 2022, on the Rio Hotel & Suites Convention Center. There have been non-official versions beforehand however Creation Entertainment, which has run conventions centered on Star Trek, Supernatural, Twilight, Xena: Warrior Princess, and plenty of extra, are behind this newest. There are precisely no different concrete particulars in regards to the conference, however Creation guarantees the next: “Fans of the franchise can expect an action-packed experience with three days of programming featuring special guests, panel discussions, cosplay and trivia competitions, autograph signing sessions, photo opportunities, sales of exclusive Game of Thrones merchandise and more.”

Of course, the true motive a GoT con is occurring is so Warner Bros. can construct hype up for the Game of Thrones spin-off/prequel House of the Dragon, coming to HBO someday subsequent yr forward of the myriad different Game of Thrones spinoffs at present within the works. So if this really finally ends up going down subsequent yr, there’s an excellent likelihood you’ll probably be capable to see stars Paddy Considine (King Viserys Targaryen), Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Emma D’Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower), and others from the introduced solid.

As a facet observe, I as soon as attended an anime conference in Vegas, and it was the emptiest con I’ve ever seen. There had been extra exhibitors than attendees, and I consider the rationale was that when you’re in Vegas you notice there are infinitely extra thrilling issues to do within the metropolis than conventional con occasions. But perhaps Thrones followers can show me fallacious! If the incoming House of the Dragon spurs your curiosity, you may join the con’s publication and e-book your lodge here. Actual tickets to the occasion can be obtainable someplace down the road.
