PAX South has beaten attendance records for a first-year PAX show. The San Antonio-based event, first announced at last year's 2014 PAX East event in Boston, beat out the first PAX East and the first PAX AUS.

Both East and AUS, taking place in Boston, MA and Melbourne, Australia, respectively, had less attendees and exhibitors in their inaugural years than South. A PAX spokesperson told IGN that the new baby-sister of the PAX family had over 120 exhibitors.While PAX South didn't sell out tickets in minutes, as has been the case for the shows elsewhere, it has established itself as an event that's bound to continue to grow in popularity. As a geographic middle-ground between the other two stateside conventions, with Prime in Seattle and East in Boston, it's an attractive alternative for those who would rather visit somewhat closer to home.Of course IGN was there covering the first PAX South . Plenty of exciting info came out of the fan-focused event, with first impressions and gameplay footage of Ronin , Randy Pitchford's Borderlands talk, including the idea of bringing the original Borderlands to PS4 and Xbox One , and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel DLC news. It was a successful show and the numbers speak to the expanding popularity of the PAX brand.Were you at PAX South? What did you think? Let us know in the comments.
