MomoCon 2025 Breaks Attendance Records Again, Welcomed Swery, Suda51

Atlanta-based pop culture event gathers together than 59,000 fans

ATLANTA, GA — June 12, 2025 — MomoCon, the largest celebration of gaming and anime in the Southeast United States, once again broke its annual attendance records as it celebrated its 20th anniversary with 59,222 fans at the Georgia World Congress Center this past Memorial Day weekend.

This year, MomoCon welcomed back renowned game director, designer, and writer Goichi “Suda51” Suda (No More Heroes series, Shadows of the Damned, and the recently announced Romeo IS A DEADMAN) joined by friend and collaborator Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, the director and writer of cult hits including the Deadly Premonition series and D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die. The pair led a panel discussion on their upcoming roguelike hack n’ slash thriller Hotel Barcelona, slated for release late this year.

MomoCon 2025 raised a total of more than $12,500 for its charity partner Johnson STEM Activity Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides hands-on STEM education opportunities and materials to underserved youth.

MomoCon is set to return to the Georgia World Congress Center from May 21-24, 2026 for another four days filled with video games, animation, and all things pop culture. The first special guests for next year’s event are the stars of Netflix’s Dan Da Dan anime: A.J. Beckles (Tokyo Revengers, Mufasa: The Lion King, Beyblade X), Kari Wahlgren (Fate series, Rick and Morty, Phineas and Ferb), and Ben Diskin (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Codename: Kids Next Door, Aggretsuko).
