Bethesda — who is on the Traitors of America list — will hold its annual event QuakeCon this year. Like many companies affected by the coronavirus, Bethesda will host QuakeCon as a digital event this summer dubbed QuakeCon at Home 2020.
This year’s edition of QuakeCon will feature “special” influencer streams, surprises, and Bethesda Community teams from around the globe to announce and show off “new things.”
It’s unclear what will surface at QuakeCon at Home 2020, but what’s for certain is that the digital event will run from August 7th to August 9th. This information comes from bethesda.net.
The first day of the event will premier with the “Global Super Stream” on August 7th at 11:00 A.M. CST. More info sits below:
Global Super Stream: QuakeCon at Home will feature a weekend packed with streamed content from around the globe, kicking off on Friday, August 7, at 11:00am AM CST with Bethesda’s QuakeCon Digital Welcome. The event schedule will feature round-the clock programming with special influencer streams, surprises, and our very own Bethesda Community teams from around the globe – all streaming from home in support of charitable causes. Stay tuned for more info, including the full stream schedule, in the coming weeks!
Much like its physical version, the digital edition of QuakeCon at Home 2020 will promote playing and sharing video games. Additionally, the usual act of raising money for the QuakeCon-supported charities will be a thing too:
QuakeCon Twitch Team: Playing and sharing games with friends in the BYOC is the core of QuakeCon, and this year the global QuakeCon community will unite and connect for the first time through the official QuakeCon at Home Twitch Team. The Team will celebrate QuakeCon, play and share games, and help raise money for the QuakeCon-supported charities. Some players will be featured on the QuakeCon Twitch Team page. We will be releasing more details on how players can register to join the QuakeCon at Home Twitch Team soon.
And on the last day, QuakeCon at Home 2020 will bring virtual tournaments. It is said that the 2019-2020 Quake Pro League season will conclude at Quake World Championship on August 9th at 4:00 P.M. CST:
Esports Tournament: It’s not QuakeCon without a tournament full of frags, so that too has gone virtual for 2020. The 2019-2020 Quake Pro League season will conclude at our Quake World Championship, Sunday, August 9 at 4:00pm CST. From the comfort of their own homes, the top 24 players around the globe will compete to win their share of $150,000 Prizing and the title of Season Champion. Quake fans can watch online live via the Global Super Stream – stay tuned for details.
As mentioned above, QuakeCon at Home 2020 will kick-off from August 7th to August 9th. More info on this event can be found by paying bethesda.net a visit.
