QuakeCon Returns This August, Registration Open
QuakeCon, the annual celebration of all things id Software and Bethesda, is back for another year. This year’s edition takes place August 9-12 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. In a surprise change for this year, the show floor will be open for the full weekend.
Also new this year is the Swag Pack. During registration, fans have a chance to pre-order a $150 limited edition swag bag. Each one contains a premium roll-over backpack, a set of three exclusive pins, a stainless steel water bottle, an air freshener, an oversized mouse pad, a luggage tag, and a 36-inch inflatable rocket launcher from Quake Champions. General admittance remains free, but for those attendees wishing to participate in the QuakeCon 2018 BYOC, you’ll have to pre-purchase a package (options range from $75 to $400) to guarantee a spot.
And, as is the norm at QuakeCon, Quake Champions players from all over the world will arrive in Dallas to challenge one another in the QuakeCon Open, with a cool $200,000 USD on the line. The tournament begins Friday, and lasts the rest of the weekend. Of course, Bethesda will also use the event for giving fans the scoop on upcoming games (more DOOM, please!).

The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
