PAX East 2026 is in the rear view mirror as the East Coast’s largest gaming event took place this past weekend featuring 4 days of games (both digital and analog), cosplay, panels and of course, commerce! This year’s exhibition hall saw big publishers like Nintendo bring their titles like Pokopia, Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park and Pokémon Champions as well indie developers showcasing their quirky and fun titles like GNAW, Throwback! Jai-Alai Heroes.
Attendees were also able to connect with their favorite internet personalities such as the crew of Mega64, Giantbomb, musicians such as Vinny of Red Vox and even legendary creators such as Kevin Eastman of TMNT fame or Hollywood director John Carpenter. Whether you went to the show alone, or with a group of friends, surely a good time was had by all those who set foot into the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center.
Those looking to plan their attendance for next year’s show should probably block off the dates of April 22nd to the 25th as that’s when the 2027 edition of the show is set to take place. Tickets, Hotel availability as well as details of exhibitors and programming will be revealed in the upcoming months, but I can tell you one thing. You probably won’t need a jacket for the next PAX East…and man that’s such a good thing!
