QuakeCon 2020 will be a digital-only affair in August

QuakeCon 2020 — the 25th annual QuakeCon, in fact — will be an online-only event taking place in early August, its organisers today confirmed.

“This year, due to COVID-19, QuakeCon at Home will be a global, totally online event – kicking off August 7 and ending August 9 – filled with round-the clock programming with special influencer streams, tournaments, surprises, and our very own Bethesda Community teams from around the globe,” a post on the QuakeCon website reads.

A full schedule has been promised “in the coming weeks”.

The event’s merch store is already open, offering up the usual wares in addition to rather adorable Dogvahkiin and Catodemon t-shirts.

Are you excited for an online-only QuakeCon? The traditional event was cancelled back in April of this year.

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.
