Since the beginning of the Covid Pandemic, a lot of us have had to change the “normal” in our life. One of the normals in my life was going to Quakecon, my wife and I had attended the event for 10 years and loved every single event. If you don’t know, Quakecon is one of the longest running BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) event on the globe and is put on by Bethesda.
Running since August 15th, 1996, Quakecon is not just your normal gaming event…it’s a family reunion. Not only is there a huge BYOC, but there are cosplay events, the Quake Tournament, Special Panels, Exclusive and Early previews to upcoming Bethesda Games, and more!
Though Quakecon won’t return as a live in-person event until next year, Quakecon’s live streaming event is back with a ton of panels, live streams, and interactive events. Bethesda will also be showcasing their upcoming title Redfall and will be kicking off the stream with id Software’s Marty Stratton at 1:00 pm eastern. I can only hope he will announcing a new iD Software title! Check out the full schedule details below:

QUAKECON CHARITIES
We’re excited to once again continue QuakeCon ’s charitable legacy in both a global and local way. QuakeCon viewers will be able to donate to organizations directly from the official QuakeCon stream via the QuakeCon Tiltify Team. This year we are proud to support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), our long-time Dallas-area animal adoption partner, Dallas Pets Alive, as well as FOUR PAWS, a global animal welfare organization.
