Play Total War Alien Isolation 2 and MW4 early at PAX Australia
Get ready to dive into the digital deep end, because PAX Australia is back and bringing an even more action-packed lineup to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre this October. This year’s Expo Floor is set to be a playground for gamers, promising a treasure trove of playable titles and epic community events.
For those who love massive strategy and intense action, the heavy hitters are ready to engage. Sega is bringing a robust selection, including four games for hands-on play, such as the sprawling epic of Total War: Warhammer 40,000 featuring three distinct scenarios, the atmospheric horror of Alien: Isolation 2, the charming adventures of Persona 4 Revival, and the gritty narrative of Yakuza’s noir prequel, Stranger Than Heaven. Plus, multiplayer fans will get a sneak peek into the action with playable modes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 ahead of its October 23 launch.
The magic doesn’t stop there, as Square Enix steps up the game with unique experiences. Attendees will have a hands-on opportunity to try Final Fantasy 14 on Switch 2, followed by a chance to create a themed bracelet and snap a photo. Adding a dose of behind-the-scenes fun, localization director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and global community producer Toshio ‘Foxclon’ Murouchi will join a panel where they tackle a hot sauce challenge while sharing their war stories. Fans will also get an early peak at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation at a special showcase.
Ubisoft is also throwing down the gauntlet for community competition. The booth will host exciting esports stages featuring Rainbow Six Siege competitions, a fun Assassin’s Creed sea shanty singalong, the Ubisoft Cosplay Runway, and a Just Dance-Along. It’s a full celebration of gaming culture, designed for everyone to participate.
Beyond the major titles, the event offers incredible depth for indie enthusiasts. The PAX Rising indie showcase will feature over ninety independent games, providing a massive opportunity to discover the next generation of gaming gems. Whether you’re hunting for exclusive gameplay, behind-the-scenes stories, or just a great time with fellow gamers, the October event is an absolute must-attend. Don’t miss the action running from October 9 to 11.
