In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows… so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.
Since then, the show hasn’t looked back. Doubling in size each year until venue capacities were reached, in 2010 the show expanded into Boston for PAX East, drawing tens of thousands of attendees in the inaugural year. The shows in Seattle and Boston represent the two largest gaming events in North America!
PAX East 2017 will be held in Boston from March 10th to March 12th. It will feature many different games such as Portal 2, Assasins Creed and Final Fantasy. This year's hype will come from the Nintendo Switch, a handheld console designed for those looking for portability and the capability of it turning into a multiplayer console. PAX includes events of all ages, which is a sure win for all parents out there looking for a short holiday getaway.
