Bethesda have announced that once again QuakeCon will be a digital only event in 2022, with the show set to stream across August 18-20 or August 19-21 here in Australia, but will return to an in-person event in 2023.

The team released a statement as to why the show is digital only:

Like you, we're disappointed to not return to Dallas this year. An event of this size requires months of planning, and in this case, we had to make decisions when there was still too much uncertainty to commit to successfully executing an in-person QuakeCon.

The QuakeCon team is already working hard to put together exciting new streaming programming, online meetups, giveaways, charity opportunities, the virtual BYOC, and more, and we will announce more details in June.

We're committed to returning with our full in-person festival in 2023, and already looking forward to reconnecting with friends, a massive BYOC packed with your latest custom PC creations, our crazy contests, and tons of great new games and hardware for attendees to try out.

We can't wait to see you online this August and in-person next year.

While this is set to be sad news for those who like to attend in person, for most fans, this is going to be the usual way of watching the show.

Last years show was good, so this years should be even better.
