The event for 2020 was postponed to October 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the organiser "went silent" following the Russo-Ukrainian war. The parent event IgroMir was cancelled in 2022, leading to a lawsuit against the organizers over unreturned fees for the event.
In 2025, Comic-Con Russia returned, again as a combined event with IgroMir, but with a new event organizer and new venue.
