It’s almost the time of the year again for which fans loyal to Bethesda Softworks and id Software await eagerly. The companies have now announced the dates and full schedule for QuakeCon 2016. The much anticipated event will be hosted in Dallas, Texas and from what it looks like, Arkane Studios’ Dishonoured 2 and Prey are leading the headlines of the event.
The 2016 edition of QuakeCon will be held from 4 to 7 August. The event begins at 10:00 am CT (Central Time Zone) while the annual welcome presentation will start at 3:00 pm CT. It will apparently also be followed by a ‘special look’ at id Software’s upcoming Quake Champions, coupled with an exclusive peek at the gameplay of Prey and Dishonored 2, which are to be published by Bethesda Softworks.
Clearly, Quake Champions will be something to look forward to, as it looks like one of those games which is set to change the trend of the first person shooting genre.
In case someone fails to catch the glimpse provided on the first day, Arkane Studios will return on 5 August at 2:00 pm CT with content from Prey and Dishonoured 2. Friday and Saturday will be a treat to the attendees as there will be a panel discussion and a display of the making and behind the scenes content from DOOM and others. Also, the QuakeCon guests will be treated royally as they will get to try out DOOM multiplayer, Fallout Shelter for PC, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, and also Bethesda VR!
An app dedicated to QuakeCon, with all the necessary information about schedules and events is available over iOS, Android and Windows. Selected parts of the event will be streamed over Twitch.tv too. The first round of pre-registrations online began on 14 March, this year.
