EGX and PAX to join forces for 9-day online event in September

EGX, the UK gaming show run by Eurogamer's parent company ReedPop, has sadly had its 2020 edition cancelled due to the global coronavirus pandemic - but the organisers have come up with something rather special to replace it.

EGX Digital will run from 12th to 20th September - and will join forces with ReedPop stablemate PAX Online, running over the same dates, to create a global, three-continent-spanning online event, with round-the-clock, 24-hour content across all nine days. Oh, and it's free to everyone.

The show will boast many features familiar from physical editions of PAX and EGX (except the queues), including developers sessions, panels, playable games, live Let's Plays, live esports, a huge selection of indie games, meet-and-greets and much more. Eurogamer will be closely involved, of course, bringing you coverage of the event as well as taking part in the streams, panels, sessions and more. The same goes for Digital Foundry and our friends at Outside Xbox, Rock Paper Shotgun, Dicebreaker, VG247 and gamesindustry.biz.
