Gamer Extravaganza at Cebu Litfest x Komiket 2022
Cebu Literary Festival, one of Cebu’s biggest literary gatherings, partnered with KomiKet to bring CebuLitFest x KomiKet 2022 to Ayala Center Cebu, Cebu City last weekend, November 25-26, 2022.
Despite being a literary festival, artists, merchants, and even cosplayers showed up to the event bearing their love for video games. As such, here are some of our favorite video game fanart, merchandise, and artists from CebuLitFest x KomiKet 2022.
Video Game Fanart Galore
One of the things that we’ve noticed in every convention we’ve attended this year was the myriad of Genshin Impact fanart. However, one of the art pieces that immediately caught our eyes was this unique Genshin Impact fanart done in a pre-colonial Visayan aesthetic by Artsharreh.

Besides that, there was a lot of VALORANT as well in CebuLitFest x KomiKet 2022.
