With QuakeCon 2018 quickly approaching, Bethesda has officially revealed their plans for this years event, some including major activities such as the gameplay reveal of DOOM Eternal, an explosive, but deeper dive into the world of Fallout 76 and an expanded weekend of fun and events in the BYOC.

With the heatwave still packing a monstrous punch, Bethesda is preparing to help us beat the heat with some of their biggest upcoming titles, revealing gameplay features, deeper looks at the games, and even some hands-on fun with some amazing games to be seen.

In order to help you plan your trip to the Gaylord Texan Hotel & Resort, Bethesda has officially revealed their outline for QuakeCon 2018, an event that promises to be twice as big as it was in the previous year with the return of their Keynote Address, official Bethesda Pannels, and a BYOC that could quite possibly be the biggest in QuakeCon history.

So let’s take a look at the official list of events:

KEYNOTE ADDRESS, FEATURING THE REVEAL OF DOOM ETERNAL Friday, August 10th @ 11am CT – QuakeCon’s Keynote Address returns, with updates planned for Quake Champions, RAGE 2, The Elder Scrolls Online, and, of course, the savage gameplay reveal of DOOM Eternal with Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin from id Software.
