SonicFox terminates Nexcon contract over AI-generated likeness in promo art

Oct 20, 2026 · Gathered automatically from public sources. Not reviewed by a person.

Fighting-game champion SonicFox terminated their special-guest contract with Nexcon 2026 (a Norman, Oklahoma convention scheduled Nov. 14-15) after an AI-generated promotional flyer featuring their likeness circulated online. SonicFox wrote on X on Oct. 20 that they "absolutely refuse to have my likeness be AI generated" and confirmed the contract termination the next day. Event organizer Ninjutsu Entertainment apologized in a video and said it would work with real artists and move away from AI art, but SonicFox declined to reconsider.
