PAX Australia 2025 is mere weeks away, and with the full schedule finally live, it’s time to prep your calendars for a jam packed weekend.
If you’re unsure of what to hit first, the lovely team at PAX have given us a bit of a rundown on some of the best highlights you won’t want to miss at the Main and Quokka theatres over the weekend.
- Friday begins with Storytime with Gavin Verhey, Principal Designer for Magic: The Gathering, followed by a live, audience-driven Elder Scrolls Online adventure with Game Director Rich Lambert, and the night wraps with Penny Arcade’s legendary Acquisitions Incorporated. Over in the Quokka Theatre, highlights include a fireside chat with Rainbow Six Siege Game Director Joshua Mills, an esports panel with Intel and Back Pocket’s PAX Prime Time hosted with Amelia Tyler and Diana Fae.

Borderlands fans can dive into Borderlands 4 with Randy Pitchford at the Gearbox Main Theatre Show, while John Robertson’s cult comedy hit The Dark Room brings chaotic late-night laughs. The Quokka Theatre welcomes comedian, writer and game voice actor Ify Nwadiwe for a fireside chat, alongside Sim it and See: Your Ultimate Sims Panel, celebrating 25 years of cowplants, pool ladders and Simlish fun.
- Sunday brings Year of Obsidian with Mikey Dowling and a worldbuilding masterclass from Josh Sawyer and Lis Moberly (20th Century Games). The Cosplay Central Crown Championship returns, with the winner heading to the UK finals, before the weekend closes with the always-epic Omegathon Final Round.
