About
Amped Fest 2012 was the "revival" of the annual Amped Fest celebration, the latter of which ended in 2008.
The event saw the culmination of Netopia Cafe Wars and the opening of WarRock Philippine's JBlaze Cup 2012. The event also held "Gaming Galaxy", a cosplay genre where cosplayers wear their favorite online and offline video game characters.[1] The event also previewed upcoming Amped games Cosmic Break, C21: Street Battle Chronicles, and Relic of Mystra, as well as previews of upcoming updates for Shaiya and WarRock.

Filipina celebrity Sarah Geronimo attended the event, along with Game Master Barbie Lee, international cosplayer champion Jia Gold Bustamante, Amped ambassador Bolen Lareza, and Zaijan Jaranilla.[2]
It is the last Amped Fest in the series as Amped shut down its operations in May 2013.
