QuakeCon 2022 will once again be a digital-only event when it returns from August 18 to 20.
The yearly celebration of id Software games like Quake and Doom (and often their Bethesda stablemates) will mark its third anniversary as an online event, but organisers said they're fully committed to returning in-person next year.
They added: "An event of this size required months of planning, and in this case, we had to make decisions when there was still too much uncertainty to commit to successfully executing an in-person QuakeCon."

Organisers said that, while they're disappointed to remain online for another year, the digital event will feature the full programming of an in-person version including online meet-ups, giveaways, charity opportunities, a virtual Bring Your Own Computer event, and more.
QuakeCon usually takes place in Dallas, Texas, and saw upwards of ten thousand people attend its last in-person event in 2019. It dates back to 1996 when around 100 people brought their PCs to a Best Western Hotel in Texas to play Quake and Doom with other fans.
QuakeCon 2021 revealed new information about Deathloop, Fallout 76, and Elder Scrolls Online, while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition was also announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
