During the event, Perfect World will discuss the game and reveal some new information, including more details on an as-yet unannounced half-vampire playable character. Those who are at the Anime Expo itself will be able to take part in PvP battles, grab themselves some Rusty Hearts-themed swag and take part in competitions to win prizes.

Those who can't make it to LA don't have to miss out on the fun, though -- video network will be broadcasting the event live on July 1 at 2pm and 4pm PT; on July 2 at 3pm and 4pm PT; and on July 3 at 5:30pm PT. Everyone can enter a sweepstakes to win Logitech gaming gear and a Rusty Hearts bear (a plush one, presumably -- the alternative doesn't bear thinking about, no pun intended) valued at $170.

"We strongly believe in giving gamers a truly free to play online experience through a high quality game like Rusty Hearts and we can't wait to showcase all that it has to offer to anime and manga enthusiasts," said Mark Hill, producer of the game. "Our fans have blown us away with their continuous support and we are excited to give them an opportunity to follow us at Anime Expo through Crunchyroll's live streaming event."

You'll be able to watch the event via Crunchyroll's at the times above, and you can find out more about Rusty Hearts, sign up for its closed beta (which starts on July 27) and enter the sweepstakes at the .
