Video games will be front and center at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, with a number of hit titles featured on the show floor. But a few will also have their own panels, including Gears 5 and Monster Hunter: Iceborne, which are destined to become big hits later this year.
Here’s the full schedule of video game panels fans can expect at the big show!
Gears 5
Thursday, July 18- 1:00 PM- Room 5AB
It’s a big year for the Gears of War franchise. Gears 5 is set to debut this fall for Xbox One and Windows 10; and Gears Pop! arrives on mobile around the same time. The Coalition’s Rod Fergusson will head up a panel that takes a closer look at the franchise in general, alongside narrative lead Bonnie Jean Mah.

Marvel Games
Thursday, July 18- 1:30 PM- Hall H
This may be the biggest games panel during San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel will host a huge event headed up by Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller. It will focus on Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avengers, along with Nintendo’s Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Marvel’s Bill Rosemann will also be on hand as he reveals content updates for the company’s various mobile titles, such as Marvel Contest of Champions.

Dragon Ball Z: 30th Anniversary Panel
Thursday, July 18- 2:15 PM- Room 6BCF
Though the primary focus of the Dragon Ball Z panel will be on the anime series, there’s a good chance that there will be some discussion about the games as well.

Additionally, there may be new clips of Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as well!
