QuakeCon 2014, the annual gathering of everything Bethesda, will take place July 17-20, event organizers announced today.

For its 19th year running, the event will return to the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas, Texas. The four-day event will culminate in the annual bring-your-own-computer LAN party as well as presentations, panels, hardware demonstrations, announcements and the chance to go hands-on with new and upcoming video games under the Bethesda Softworks banner.

Hotel room reservations are already open (https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=10750560), according to a post on the Bethesda Blog. (http://www.bethblog.com/2014/01/30/quakecon-2014-moves-to-july/) Interested attendees can take advantage of a special $159 per night rate while rooms last — just mention QuakeCon when booking. Badges for QuakeCon 2014 are, as with previous years, free and available to the general public.

At last year's QuakeCon — which took place Aug. 1-4, 2013 —  we got our hands on downloadable content for Arkane Studios' Dishonored as well as upcoming shooter reboot Wolfenstein: The New Order and heard talks from id Software's John Carmack, now CTO at virtual reality company Oculus (http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/22/5134500/id-software-founder-john-carmack-resigns).

As the old joke goes: "Why is QuakeCon in Dallas in August?" "Because the surface of the Sun was fully booked!"

July should be marginally better. Maybe not over 100F everyday. Maybe.

I wish QuakeCon would come to New York instead :\ seems like a much better location than down in Dallas IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER. It's pretty damn hot down there.  :o

What's QuakeCon without a keynote?


I also groaned hard when I saw the modding panel taking questions some quakecon or two ago....
