What’s New and Exciting for 2025
The most buzzworthy addition to PGS 2025: two brand-new original characters infused with Filipino flair.
- Rajee rocks traditional tattoos and a headband, reigning over the digital realm like royalty.
- Lucee complements with vibrant energy and futuristic charm, symbolizing Filipino pride in the gaming world.
These icons are not just figures, they’re the spirit of PGS brought to life.
Fans get a piece of the action. PGS invites you to submit names for Lucee and Rajee in their character naming contest. Winning entries will receive exclusive merch and the chance to be forever linked to these iconic figures.
Expect world-class cosplay showcases, complete with the Philippine cosplay idol group AIDreamin and the Grand Finals of the World Cosplay Summit Philippines on the big stage.
Nighttime at PGS means music, cosplay, and gaming a wild fusion of rhythm and fandom dubbed CosGameMusic. It promises an electrifying after-hours party for all attendees.
Looking Back: Highlights from Last Year
Unfortunately, specific details from PGS 2024 are scarce. However, PGS is often compared to its close cousin, the Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX), which provides insight into the kind of energy and programming fans can anticipate:
- Packed with Demos & Stage Shows
PGDX filled its halls with gaming peripherals, live demos, and high-energy showmatches and interviews on the main stage. Brands like Smart, PLDT, MSI, and PC Express were present alongside major titles such as Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero.
- Indie Game Showcases & Developer Panels
The expo spotlighted local indie titles such as Until Then and Tower of Cards, and featured workshops on AI, game design, and publishing led by leaders from Razer Gold, Google Play, Xbox, and universities like USC and De La Salle.
While these refer to PGDX, it’s likely that PGS, being more B2C- and entertainment-focused retains that same spirit of celebration, showcasing both local talent and international gaming culture.
