For those of you that have had a hard time making it to either end of states for a PAX event, 2015 is going to be your year. PAX South, slated to debut in San Antonio, Texas early next year, this southern addition marks the fourth PAX show and third to occur in the U.S. This news came today in front of a sellout crowd at PAX East from ReedPOP and Penny Arcade.
The new show will build on the foundation of the PAX format giving fans a healthy mix of the latest and greatest in video games, tabletop games, game inspired music, competitive gameplay, and insight from leaders in the world of gaming. The annual events give gamers a PAX show for every season throughout the year.
“The love of gaming in all its many forms, whether that be on a TV, a computer, a phone, or even a tabletop, is hitting an all-time high. PAX gives gaming fans one place to get a glimpse of emerging trends and does it in a truly fun and interactive way,” said Lance Fensterman, Global Vice President of ReedPOP.
Robert Khoo, Penny Arcade President, added, “Since its launch in 2004, PAX events have doubled in size almost every year, and our Seattle and Boston events represent the two largest gaming festivals in North America. We’ve been hearing for years that those in the south had a tough time making it to the northern corners of the country; PAX South has always been a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if.'”
Not only are we getting another great event like this, but it’s in San Antonio. Gaming, Rosario’s Mexican Cafe Y Cantina and the River Walk make for a d*** fine time.
