Every year, talented cosplayers gather at San Diego Comic-Con to share their passions for everything from comics to gaming. As fans of gaming ourselves, we have an immense appreciation for the amount of time and work that goes into each cosplay design. To help highlight our favorites, we decided to put together a quick list featuring some of the best gaming cosplay seen at San Diego Comic-Con 2019!
