QuakeCon 2022: Panel highlights
There’s plenty of good-looking stuff taking place during QuakeCon 2022, with a number of panels that sound worthwhile. Here are a few highlights that pique our interest:
- QuakeCon 2022 Pre-Show (2:15 am AEST, 19 August) – This show will kick off the annual event, and might contain some tantalising tidbits. Should any surprise announcements be in store, expect them to be made during this keynote.
- Bringing Redfall to Life with Arkane Austin (3:15 am AEST, 19 August) – This panel should give a deeper look at upcoming vampire shooter Redfall, and will hopefully come with a new look at gameplay.
- The Elder Scrolls Online – Talkin’ Tamriel (3:45 am AEST, 19 August) – While The Elder Scrolls Online recently got a brand new pack in the form of High Isle, this panel could reveal more about the future of the beloved online multiplayer game.
- Fallout 76 | Expeditions: The Pitt and Beyond! (6:30 am AEST, 19 August) – This panel will explore the future of Fallout 76, as well as the returning locale of The Pitt. For those who’ve fallen off the bandwagon, it should be an eye-opening showing of how much Fallout 76 has grown.
- ESO Cook-off (1:00 am AEST, 20 August) – If you’ve ever wanted to see a competitive baking show themed around the world of The Elder Scrolls, this should hopefully be an absolute blast.
- Bethesda Nostalgia Panel (4:30 am AEST, 20 August) – For the veterans amongst us, this panel should bring back delightful memories of Bethesda’s past.
Beyond these, there are plenty of other options, including some panels that clash – but you’ll need to browse for yourself to see what takes your fancy.
