As mentioned, those include a bit of everything that SDCC can offer too.
Fans can look for a double dose of panels to lead off. Those will spotlight both TMNT and Avatar, and won’t exclusively be about the upcoming games. Instead, the events will spill into both properties original homes, TV for Avatar, and comics for the futuristic Ninja Turtles tale.
Past those, there’ll be activations aplenty. Avatar will be in house and playable at both IGN’s Gaming Lounge and The Paramount+ Lodge. On the other hand, Star Trek Fleet Command will be exploring the history of the future, with the 60 Years of Star Trek Archives Experience. There fans can check out a host of exhibits, including “official archive pieces, a Holodeck VR experience, themed photo moments, exclusive swag” and more. There’s also more TMNT action at the IDW booth, and some limited edition gear, which’ll be found at the nickelodeon booth.
