Outside of programming SEGA’s presence on the show floor will be bustling with activity. Featuring photo ops, interactive art demonstrations, giveaways, and even appearances from influencers such as Ironmouse. Those looking to stock up on SEGA/ATLUS gear will also find a merchandise store that will be stocking over 200 items, such as AX themed apparel featuring characters from the Persona franchise, a skate deck and items from other beloved SEGA franchises such as Shinobi, Yakuza, Jet Set Radio and of course Sonic the Hedgehog.
