Bethesda has announced<\/a><\/strong> that this year’s QuakeCon will be an online-only event from 18 to 20 August.<\/p>\n

The announcement states that QuakeCon 2022 will include new streaming programming, online meetups, giveaways, charity opportunities, and a virtual Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) event.<\/p>\n

The BYOC used to be one of the biggest in-person annual LAN events in North America before the pandemic started in 2020.<\/p>\n

Bethesda plans to return to Texas with the in-person event in 2023.<\/p>\n

“We’re committed to returning with our full in-person festival in 2023, and are already looking forward to reconnecting with friends, a massive BYOC packed with your latest custom PC creations, our wild contests, and tons of great new games and hardware for attendees to try out,” said Bethesda.<\/p>\n

QuakeCon isn’t the only gaming showcase affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, though, as it was recently announced that this year’s E3 is cancelled<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, you shouldn’t be too upset about missing out on E3 2022 because there are plenty of other gaming shows<\/a><\/strong> still happening throughout the year, including Summer Game Fest and THQ’s Nordic Digital Showcase.<\/p>\n
