India-based esports tournament organizer and festival company NODWIN Gaming announced Thursday that DreamHack India will be a part of Hyderabad Comic Con, taking place Oct. 31 – Nov 2, in Hyderabad (the capital city of Southern Indian state Telangana).
Hyderabad Comic Con 2025 aims to bring together fandom from gaming, comics, movies, anime, and more to celebrate their favorite IPs through a variety of activities. NODWIN secured the rights to operate Comic Con events in the country earlier this year.
“Over the past six years, our partnership with DreamHack has built some of India’s most iconic gaming moments, and blending it with Comic Con has created a one-of-a-kind celebration where gaming meets pop culture,” said Akshat Rathee, co-founder and managing director of NODWIN Gaming. “Hyderabad’s fans have always brought unmatched energy, and last year’s three-day format proved just how powerful this fusion can be. This October, we’re coming back bigger and bolder than ever with everything from comic book launches, spectacular cosplay showcases, music and comedy performances, and geeky shopping to esports tournaments, chess, retro, and tabletop games, all under one roof.”
DreamHack India will feature LAN tournaments, cosplay contests, tech expos, retro game zones, meet & greets with leading streamers and creators, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) zones for grassroots gaming competitions.
Some of the public-facing competitions taking place at the event include PAN FEST (Battlegrounds Mobile India), a public BGMI competition with daily lobbies; KO Fight Night, a multi-title public legendary fighting games tournament featuring TEKKEN 8, Super Smash Bros., and Street Fighter VI; and Chess competitions featuring Rapid and Blitz formats;
More details about officially sanctioned competitions are to be announced.
