QuakeCon Headed to Europe This July, Will Run Simultaneously With Dallas Event
Those across the pond will no longer feel left out when QuakeCon rolls around this year. Bethesda and id Software have expanded the annual convention this year to include London, which will run simultaneously with the event in Dallas, Texas from July 26-27.
“This year, for the first time ever, Bethesda Softworks will host ‘QUAKECON Europe’ at Printworks, London,” states the press release. “Fresh for the ‘Year of DOOM’, fans attending can expect to gain hands-on access to the latest and greatest games that Bethesda has to offer. DOOM Eternal takes centre stage across this two-day event and will be publicly playable for the first time outside of North America.”
In addition to DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, RAGE 2, QUAKE Champions, Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online will also be available to play at QuakeCon Europe.
And in keeping with the ‘Year of DOOM‘, Bethesda will have a “retro area” to showcase the “humble beginnings” of the franchise.
But enough yakking, you say, where can I register? Head on over to QuakeCon’s official European site to register your interest, and be the first to receive news about ticket availability.
DOOM Eternal is due out this year for the Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. RAGE 2 hits May 14 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
