Doritos is Turning up the Heat at Comic Con Africa #ComicConAfrica

Hi Guys, 

Doritos is back and it’s bigger, louder, and crunchier than ever. In 2025, Comic Con Africa says goodbye to the Crunch Zone and welcomes the bigger and bolder Doritos Crunch Arena. It’s a space packed with non-stop action, non-stop flavour, and more ways to play, win, and experience the crunch than ever before.

The Doritos TEKKEN 8 Tournament is where gaming warriors are made. Con-goers will go head-to-head in high-energy battles as their favourite Tekken characters, and there will be two tournaments every day of the con. With real-time scorekeeping flashing across a massive leaderboard in the heart of the Arena, the heat is always on! For gamers who think they have what it takes to climb to the top, they should be warned: the leaderboard changes in a flash and this moment’s champ could be the next moment’s toast. It’s bold, it’s brag-worthy, and it’s your shot to stand a chance to win your share of R10 000 daily. Bring your game face (and don’t forget an extra bag of confidence).

Old school is the new cool in the Retro Arcade Zone. Bring the old days back with some classic arcade fun with button-mashing, joystick-slamming goodness. It’s a pixel-powered blast from the past that’ll have you shouting, “just one more round!” Whether you want to relive your youth or if you’re just now discovering the roots of gaming, this zone is full of nostalgia with a Doritos twist.

Free-to-Play Titles
For the casual gamers, don’t worry, because Doritos has got you covered, too. Fans can jam their favourite titles in the free-to-play zone: a line-up of today’s hottest games, including EAFC25, COD Modern Warfare III, Streetfighter and Fornite, making it the perfect space to game with your squad. Whether you’re in it for fun or trying to settle a long-standing rivalry with your bestie, this is your chance to prove who’s boss.

Win a PS5
Ready for the ultimate side quest? Doritos will be giving away a PS5 daily. Scan the QR codes scattered around the show and in the Crunch Arena and be at the Arena every day at 3pm for the live randomised draw - you could be leaving the Con with a console in hand!

Beyond the Games: the Reloaded Truck is Back
All that joystick action is going to leave you hungry, and Doritos has you covered! Head on over to the Doritos Loaded Truck, where you can expect a variety of unique ways to enjoy Doritos through a specialised menu. Try out Doritos as the base for both sweet and savoury snacks to share with your squad, or enjoy a portion all to yourself! Have you imagined Doritos as a cheesecake, or loaded with saucy pulled beef? Yes, please!

Says Ather Baghpatee, Doritos Marketing Director of Snacks, “Doritos believes in ‘Expressing your bold side’ and in line with our brand positioning, we are proud to partner with Comic Con Africa. With this collaboration, our aim is to create a bold, inclusive and accessible gaming environment for South Africa’s youth. We look forward to continuing our journey supporting youth passion points and providing platforms to fuel BOLD self-expression for South Africans.”

For Everyone!
Whether you’re there to compete, chill, or just snack between the con vibes, the Doritos Crunch Arena is where it’s all going down. Get ready to feel the crunch. It’s coming to your happy place, Comic Con Africa, from 28 to 31 August at the Joburg Expo Centre, Nasrec.
