With COVID-19 decimating the convention scene, PAX have reinvented their offering to take PAX Australia, PAX West and EGX online in a nine day, 24\/7, FREE, extravaganza!<\/p>\n
Beginning this Sunday (September 13th) the first 100% online PAX will kick off with a Storytime delivered by Cyberpunk 2020 creator Mike Pondsmith<\/a>, running non-stop until September 21st.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Similar to a regular PAX’s streams PAX Online will run three simultaneous Twitch channels to deliver panels, esports events and long running PAX-staple, Omegathon competition.<\/p>\n Underpinning the streamed content will be PAX Online’s Discord<\/a> server, a place where attendees can participate with the same sense of community and togetherness that lends so heavily to PAX’s secret sauce.<\/p>\n Aussie’s can expect to see a selection of localised content too. A showcase of local indie developers will be on display in the PAX Rising section of the event as well as gaming tournaments under the Telstra Tourneys banner.<\/p>\n
