The 14th century Palazzo Guinigi will house the "Lucca Legacy: A Comics and Games Story" exhibition. Director Kore-eda Hirokazu will meet fans to discuss his adaptation of Fujimoto Tatsuki’s manga "Look Back".
Several industry figures will attend, including Hideki Kamiya, Yoshinori Kitase, and the creators of "Alien: Isolation 2". Other confirmed attendees include Bartosz Sztybor, Saya Elder, Victor Cartwright, and Matthew Walker.
Peter Lord will be honoured on the "Walk of Fame" during the festivities. The festival has set an all-time record for investments from streamers and studios.
Lucca is the only venue to feature a formal red carpet in front of an opera house dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Dedicated experience spaces will be available for "Dexter" and "Edgerunners".
