Heroes World 2026
Belgium's three biggest fan events - GameForce, Heroes Comic Con and Made in Asia - merge into one pop-culture and gaming festival at Brussels Expo on 17-18 October 2026.
Heroes World is the new umbrella festival born from the merger of three established Belgian events: the GameForce gaming expo, Heroes Comic Con and Made in Asia. The first combined edition takes place on 17 and 18 October 2026 at Brussels Expo on the Heysel plateau.
The festival is split into themed zones. Gamers will head straight for Game Island, packed with gaming stations, tabletop games and card games - the continuation of what GameForce used to offer as a standalone show. Around it sit the Made in Asia zone for Asian pop culture, a Films & Series Garden with actor meet-and-greets, the Creators Cave with workshops by artists and industry professionals, the Treasure Market for merchandise and collectibles, and the Fan Bay with interactive fan experiences.
For visitors from Croatia and the wider region it is a chance to catch three conventions' worth of programme in a single weekend trip: video games, anime, cosplay, film and series guests and a large dealer hall under one roof. Tickets and the guest line-up are published on the official Heroes World website.
