Considering the immense popularity of Penny Arcade Expo Australia earlier this year, it should be no surprise that the show will continue to go on.
Organizers this week announced that PAX Australia 2014 will take place from October 31 through November 2, 2014, at the much larger Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
“PAX is the world’s leading games festival and the return of PAX Australia to Melbourne for the second consecutive year highlights Victoria’s reputation as a key hub for games development in the Asia Pacific region,” said Minister for Innovation, Science and Small Business Louise Asher. “This year’s event in Melbourne represented the first time that PAX had been held outside of the United States – not only was it a great coup for Melbourne but the event was a runaway success.”
Robert Khoo, president of Penny Arcade, stated that Australia was an ideal location for the event, which also has shows in Boston and Seattle yearly. “Not only have they helped us secure a much-needed larger venue for the show, but they’ve paved the way for talented local creators to be showcased on the global stage. The games community here is incredible, and PAX Australia is here to stay,” Mr. Khoo said.
