The region’s largest pop culture festival, now in its 12th edition, will be held in Abu Dhabi between February 9 and February 11, 2024 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. It’s here that fans can meet Baker, also known for his roles as Snow Villiers from ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ and Jonesy in ‘Fortnite’.
