PLAYCON 2026 has announced a major addition to this year’s guest lineup, with international actor Steven Ogg, best known for portraying Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V, set to appear at Malta’s gaming and esports expo.
The announcement comes at a particularly exciting time for gaming fans, with PLAYCON 2026 taking place during the global launch weekend of Grand Theft Auto VI.
Ogg became one of gaming’s most recognisable performers through his role as Trevor Philips in Rockstar Games’ record-breaking Grand Theft Auto V. Outside the gaming world, the actor has also appeared in several major television productions, playing Simon in AMC’s The Walking Dead, Reeby in HBO’s Westworld, and Pike in Snowpiercer.
He will be joined at PLAYCON by acclaimed actor Anthony Howell, another familiar name among gaming fans. Howell portrayed Margit, the Fell Omen and Morgott in Elden Ring, as well as Elias in Diablo IV. His gaming credits also include roles in Alien: Isolation and Final Fantasy.
Fans attending PLAYCON 2026 will have several opportunities to see and meet both actors throughout the event. Ogg and Howell are set to take part in live stage Q&A panels, while dedicated photo sessions and autograph signings will also be available.
Standard Meet & Greet packages, offering photo and autograph opportunities with both guests, can be booked through the official PLAYCON website.
Those looking for an upgraded experience can opt for the Mythic Pass (Tier 3), which includes a number of VIP guest benefits. These include fast-track queue lanes for celebrity Meet & Greets, guaranteed front-row seating during celebrity panels, and an exclusive guest art poster ready for signing.
Free admission passes, Meet & Greets and Mythic Passes are available through PLAYCON’s official website.
With two internationally recognised performers joining the lineup and the event coinciding with one of gaming’s most anticipated release weekends, PLAYCON 2026 is shaping up to be a major weekend for Malta’s gaming community.
