PAX South shut down “for the foreseeable future”

There's always PAX Online?

PAX South has been shut down “for the foreseeable future,” its organisers have today proclaimed.

“While each of our other events has flourished, some of them drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the workd, PAX South hasn’t expanded and to some extent has remained the same show that it was when we opened it in 2015,” a statement on Twitter reads.

“Faced with that reality, and compounded by the impact of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to bring PAX South to an end for the foresee able future.”

While the San Antonio, Texas-based event is no longer, events in Seattle, Boston, Melbourne, Philadelphia (and likely online) are expected to continue in 2022.

PAX Australia was supposed to be an in-person event last month, but a wave of COVID-19 delta variant infections forced the event online.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
