"First and foremost, PAX has always been about the incredible community created by everyone involved," Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX says, "from the attendees, panelists, exhibitors, and our amazing enforcers.
"PAX Online will recreate that shared experience, along with everyone's other favourite elements; from game reveals, exclusive hands-on experiences, the chance to hear from and speak with your favourite game developers, journalists as well as content creators, and so much more.
"Even if we can't all meet in Seattle or Melbourne this year, we look forward to reconnecting with friends, and welcoming everyone to our new home, PAX Online."
