Bethesda has confirmed that QuakeCon 2022 will once again be an all-digital event when it returns in August. While fans wait for the return of QuakeCon 2022, they will be entertained and updated at this year’s digital QuakeCon. Like last year’s event, QuakeCon 2022 will be digital-only, meaning no in-person gatherings or BYOC (bring your own computer) LAN parties. QuakeCon is going digital this year as it’s not a surprise in 2022, but it comes at a time when more conventions are returning to in-person events.
Bethesda has announced plans to host a digital-only QuakeCon again in 2022; this year, online celebrations will begin on August 18th. While other gaming events like E3 2022 have been canceled in recent weeks, Bethesda Softworks are determined to keep QuakeCon intact. According to a post on the Bethesda.net blog, this is the third year in a row that QuakeCon will be held online only.
For the third year in a row, there will be no in-person QuakeCon, which is definitely not good news for those who are looking forward to returning to the event. While this will likely come as a disappointment to many longtime attendees at this year’s QuakeCon event, Bethesda says they’re committed to making next year’s event a personal return to QuakeCon offline. Event organizers Bethesda also added that next year’s convention will be held in person. Regardless, there is still hope for next year as Bethesda has confirmed that QuakeCon 2022 will return to physical form in 2023.

The annual celebration of id Software games like Quake and Doom (and often their Bethesda counterparts) Quake Doom will be celebrating their third anniversary as an online event, but the organizers have said they are fully committed to an in-person comeback next year.
QuakeCon 2022 will include new streaming shows, online fan contests, giveaways, charity opportunities, BYOC virtual tournaments (bring your computer), and other events announced around August. Plans for QuakeCon 2022 are still in the works, but the team behind the digital event is currently working on what Bethesda calls “creating exciting new streaming shows, online meetups, giveaways, charity opportunities, virtual BYOCs, and more.”. Last year At this year’s QuakeCon, Bethesda announced a re-release of the original Quake with improved graphics and cross-platform play, as well as general updates to games like Doom Eternal, Deathloop, Fallout 76, and The Elder Scrolls Online. QuakeCon, the annual fan convention for id Software and Bethesda Softworks video game franchises, will return on August 18th.
