Blizzard and the Red Cross are coming to PAX Australia in search of blood donors


Each year, one game company comes to PAX and works with a charity group, to help raise awareness, funds or in this years case, blood.

Blizzard Australia has announced that they are coming to PAX Australia and joining forces with the Australian Red Cross, in the hope of getting more people to sign up and donate blood.

Blood Service staff will be distributing refreshments at the Diablo-sponsored Handheld Lounge (next to the main theatre) and roaming the show floor with teams of Diablo cosplayers, encouraging attendees to make an appointment to donate post-show.

Diablo III Eternal Collection on Nintendo Switch will be playable on the Nintendo booth ahead of its release on 2 November, plus there will be plenty of prizes and refreshments up for grabs in and around the Handheld Lounge. This will include limited-edition Pinny Arcade Diablo pins, and a Nintendo Switchâ„¢ Diablo III Eternal Collection Bundle, so make sure to swing by.
