QuakeCon 2022 will once again be a digital-only event when it returns on August 18-20.
The annual celebration of id Software games like Quake and Doom (and often their Bethesda stablemates as well) will mark its third anniversary as an online event, but organizers said they’re determined to return in person next year.
They added, “An event of this magnitude required months of planning, and in this case we had to make decisions when there was too much uncertainty to commit to successfully running an in-person QuakeCon.”

Organizers said that while they are disappointed to remain online for another year, the digital event will feature the full program of an in-person version, including online meetups, giveaways, charity events, a virtual Bring Your Own Computer event and more.
QuakeCon is typically held in Dallas, Texas and saw more than ten thousand people at its last in-person event of 2019. It dates back to 1996 when around 100 people brought their PCs to a Best Western hotel in Texas to see Quake and Doom to play with other fans.
QuakeCon 2021 revealed new information about Deathloop, Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online, while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition was also announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
