Bethesda is going all-out for PAX Australia this week! Whether you’re an adventurer, ready to rip and tear, or waltz through the wasteland, there is something for every fan to look forward to. Let’s dive into where we can find Bethesda this year.
Red Rocket-inspired Diner & Vault-Tec Cafeteria
All the Wastelanders out there will feel right at home in the Red Rocket-inspired diner and Vault-Tec cafeteria. Complete with themed props, photo ops, and a chance to try your luck at the Port-a-Diner. For a charitable donation to Game On Cancer, attendees can spin the wheel of fate to win themed prizes while supporting life-saving research. You’ll find this immersive set at Kiosk 2 in the Exhibition Hall.
Exclusive Pinny Arcade Pin
Pinny Arcade collectors won’t want to miss the exclusive Fallout 76 Pinny Arcade pin, inspired by the recent Gone Fission update. You can snag one at the Game On Cancer booth, the Fallout Port-a-Diner, or by trading with Bethesda staff at both the cafeteria and Red Rocket diner.
Fallout Community Meetup
The beloved VAULT613 Fallout community meetup returns! Organised by Old Man Atom, the annual cosplay gathering kicks off on Sunday, 12 October at 1:30pm, at the Orrs Walk Stairs (just opposite Door 7). So dust off your Vault suits, polish your Pip-Boy, and get ready to strike a pose with fellow wasteland wanderers.

Adventurers of Tamriel: A Live ESO Adventure
On Friday at 3:30pm, the Main Theatre transforms into Tamriel itself for a one-of-a-kind live storytelling experience, Adventurers of Tamriel: A Live ESO Adventure. The Elder Scrolls Online’s Studio Game Director Rich Lambert will join Dungeon Master Matt Brown (@NoFunBrown) and a party of local creators — @MishManners, @Nicktacula, and @GeeOfDee — for a chaotic, interactive quest where the audience helps shape the story’s outcome. It’s ESO like you’ve never seen it before.
Rip and Tear Until It’s Done (and it isn’t just yet!)
Fans looking for a taste of DOOM: The Dark Ages can head over to the Aftershock PC booth, where jaw-dropping props created by Hench And Scrap will be on display. Strike your fiercest Slayer pose and prepare for some hellish photo ops worthy of your next profile picture. And check out the custom Aftershock DOOM PC!
