First held in 1992, Anime Expo is an annual American anime convention in Los Angeles organized by Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA). The convention provides an opportunity for fans to interact with anime, manga and musical artists as well as fellow fans. Anime Expo attracted more than 41,000 attendees in 2011.

In Elsword, gamers can choose from five specialized and customizable characters as they explore an immersive world and battle to complete dynamic quests. As players progress through the game, they can evolve their fighting styles by upgrading to new job classes, learn deadly new abilities and master combo attacks. With intuitive and straightforward controls, Elsword offers players of all skill levels the chance to experience the thrill of victory in combat, either on solo missions or cooperatively in a party of up to four players. For those who welcome a challenge, Elsword also delivers action-packed PvP combat.
