Beat the summer heat by spending three days in-house for three days of livestreams, tournaments, freebies, and more when QuakeCon 2021 kicks off Thursday, August 19.
Founded in 1996, QuakeCon has grown from a local gathering of Quake (and id Software) fans to one of the most prestigious gaming festivals with North America’s largest BYOC (bring-your-own-computer) LAN party. The annual event welcomes more than 10,000 players to Dallas, TX and features a wide range of activities including presentations, tournaments, panels, exhibits, and a taste of upcoming Bethesda titles and announcements. QuakeCon has always been about great games and great friends, but it’s also about enabling attendees to donate, support, and help others through partnerships with a wide variety of nonprofits.
While we can’t be together in person this year, the show has to go on. We’re excited to reveal the full schedule for this epic community celebration – all of which you can enjoy from the comfort of your living room.
The fun begins with a quick welcome on August 19 at 2:00 p.m. ET, followed by six signature panels with the developers behind the games you’re playing – and those you can’t wait to play. In addition to insights into these games, each of these signature panels will reveal new information, updates, and announcements, so tune them all up. Schedule below:
