2026 is truly raising the game for cosplay. After the extraordinary outfits we featured that appeared at WonderCon, we’ve got another extraordinary gallery of incredible costumes from 2026’s Lvl Up Expo, via the photography magic of Mineralblu. The Vegas show, which is all about pop culture and gaming, has cosplay at its core, and people really delivered.
Dispatch was once again featured, alongside some very imaginative takes on the regulars, such as Overwatch, Resident Evil and Minecraft. You’ve never seen an Ender Dragon quite like this one. There are also some exquisite recreations of fits from World of Warcraft and Silent Hill, and the best depiction of a Mii I’ve ever seen.
Oh, and to my absolute delight, the first ever outfit I’ve seen from The Amazing Digital Circus, and incredible YouTube show that my 11-year-old introduced me to. Seriously, it’s incredible stuff, and you’ll also get to judge my parenting for letting him watch it. Cosplayer animasian78 could have chosen far simpler characters to recreate, but instead opted for the malevolent Caine, a set of false teeth with eyeballs inside his mouth. Kudos.
Ah yes, and I’ve completely undersold the appearance of a Expedition 33-cosplaying doggo.
