This might seem like a LOT, but it is just a snippet of what’s coming to PAX Aus 2024. Hope this helps with mapping out your activities for the weekend. To assist with your planning, PAX Aus has released its 2024 Guidebook app that allows you to send notifications about what you want to see at the event. The app is available on the Google Play Store and Apple Store.
PAX Aus runs from October 10 to October 12 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) and showcases some of Australia’s best independent developers from the realms of video games, card games, Board games, and much more alongside guests and developers from the international games scenes showing off their wares too.
Keep an eye out for The Outerhaven’s own Karl Smart as he’ll be scooting his way around the exhibition halls all weekend doing interviews, taking photos, and recording some of the amazing moments that only happen at PAX Aus.
