RetroGameCon 2026 Guest Announcement!

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩." -Sovereign, Mass Effect

Peter Jessop will be joining us in a few short weeks at RGC!

Peter is the *perfect* guest for this year's show: he has performed major villain roles in both Resident Evil and Mass Effect.

Peter Jessop has voiced iconic characters for over 20 years, with a breakout role as ALBERT WESKER in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2002 remake, followed up with dozens of roles in games like Jade Empire, Justice League Heroes, Gears of War, Transformers, Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft, LEGO DC Super-Villains, and more.

You may remember his grim and daunting performance as SOVEREIGN, the Reaper flagship of immense power, in Mass Effect. Or perhaps you remember him as the voice of MIRAAK, first of the Dragonborn, in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn, the final installment of Skyrim.

Jessop delivered a rock solid, power-armored performance as popular companion character PALADIN DANSE in Fallout 4. He voiced Vision in the animated series Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, as well as providing the voice for the male Exo playable character in Destiny and Destiny 2.

Let's get ready to welcome Peter Jessop to Syracuse in 23 short days, at RetroGameCon 2026!

Good morning - quick update to our guest lineup: unfortunately, Jane Perry will no longer be able to join us at RGC '26.

We’re disappointed that we won’t get to welcome Jane to Syracuse this year, but we’re fully understanding and wish her the absolute best. She wants to try to join us for RGC Spring next May, so we'll be working on getting her on board for that!

The good news? We have a fantastic actor taking her spot that we think fans of both R.E. and M.E. will be thrilled to meet. Announcing at noon!

Thanks for understanding, and we’ll see you at RGC in 23 days!

Quick reminder of one of the biggest events happening at the con this year:

Join Syracuse Improv on the RetroGameCon 2026 Main Stage, FRIDAY OCTOBER 2nd at 6PM for a one-of-a-kind adventure where anything can happen!

Introducing "THE CURSE OF THE SALT CITY", a live improvised D&D event where the audience helps shape the story. Expect quick wit, audience-driven twists, and a very familiar voice joining the adventure. We're keeping our special guest's identity a secret...for now, but you can probably guess who it might be by taking a look at our guest list!

This special event at RGC is totally free with your Day 1 (Friday) admission. Don't miss it. Roll for initiative...and prepare for chaos!

😴 Please welcome our latest sponsor: The Sleep With Me Podcast!

Ok, that's enough exclamation points, let's take things down a notch. The Sleep With Me Podcast is the official Sleep Sponsor of RetroGameCon 2026.

Sleep With Me is the podcast that puts you to sleep. Think bedtime stories to help grown ups fall asleep in the deep, dark night. Host Drew "Scooter" Ackerman takes you on an auditory journey of musings and monologue, insight and introspection, and facts both tantalizing and trivial, growing progressively more boring until you drift off into dreamland.

Of course every convention worth its salt has a Sleep Sponsor. How else are we going to make sure everyone gets a good night's rest after the con?

So if you find yourself running on a low battery after your busy convention day, or maybe you feel like it's time to rest but your brain's still playing, make sure you check them out.💤

*Checks watch* looks like it's prime nap time, now that we think of it. Go ahead, leave work early, you don't even need to tell anyone. It's Friday, they won't mind. Listen at www.sleepwithmepodcast.com
