Cryptic is most famous for its games City of Heroes and City of Villains.

China's top gaming company, Bianfeng.com, will also entertain fans with its latest product, Becoming a Fairy.

Participants will discuss various topics, such as overseas gaming operations, payment channels, safety technologies, and latest development trends on mobile Internet entertainment and browser games.

It is estimated around 120,000 people will visit the ChinaJoy expo and many diehard fans will dress up in costumes of their favorite gaming characters.
