2010 Ankama Convention scheduled for April 17-18, 2010

The next Ankama Convention has just been announced. The fifth annual Ankama Convention, a place for fans of DOFUS and Wakfu to celebrate the games, meet and talk with Ankama employees and try out the newest Ankama games, will take place April 17-18, 2010. The event will be held in Paris at Hall 5 of the Porte de Versailles. It’s only a two day event, but the convention will run from 9am to 7pm both days.

There are three kinds of passes available, a two day premium pass that costs €35 ($48), a day pass that costs €12 ($16.50) and an accompanying pass that costs €12 ($16.50). In case you’re wondering, the accompanying pass is for parents of children under 12, and is a two day pass. It lets you into the Ankama Convention both days, but doesn’t let you get a gift pack or participate in events.

The are multiple incentives for DOFUS fans to take the plunge and splurge on a trip to Paris and attend the Ankama Convention. Both Islands of Wakfu, the DOFUS spin-off Xbox Live Arcade game and DOFUS‘s Frigost expansion will be playable. The preliminary information doesn’t mention how many Xbox 360s will have Islands of Wakfu running on them, but it does state there will be 200 PCs with Frigost set up.

There’ll also be the standard convention stuff. There’ll be Q&A and developer sessions where you can talk to the people who create Ankama’s games, gift packs, game and TCG tournaments, book signings of the DOFUS graphic novels and game announcements and information. The French Wakfu TCG championship will take place at the event as well. Plus. attendees will also get beta keys for Frigost and a brand new, unannounced game.
