Mass Effect

Conclusion

Although there will be plenty of events and demo opportunities scattered around the Comic-Con floor and downtown San Diego, these are the 10 game-focused events we think will be the most worth attending. Each panel/demo should feature plenty of new information and first-looks at each game in action, and attendees will be able to hear firsthand from the developers working on each game.

However, if you can’t make it down to San Diego for Comic-Con 2014 rest assured, the Game Rant team will be out there in full force covering all the big events, including these 10 panels.
