Step into the Worlds of Bethesda, as part of Melbourne International Games Week

While Bethesda are not yet set to show anything on the main floor of PAX Australia, the company will be on hand in Melbourne on the Friday and Saturday that weekend and will be welcoming fans into the Worlds of Bethesda.

Located away from the convention centre, this Worlds of Bethesda will let fans step into the gaming landscapes from some of Bethesda’s most popular games and some of their upcoming ones.

On Friday 7th and Saturday 8th October, from 11am – 4:30pm AEDT, ‘Worlds of Bethesda’ will transport attendees to a Tamrielic tavern inspired by The Elder Scrolls Online, a Reclamation Day dining area inspired by Fallout, a planetary exploration and anti-gravity space room inspired by Starfield, as well as the survivor HQ in the town of Redfall, Massachusetts. These non-gameplay experiences have all been tailored to allow passionate fans to step into the worlds they love so much.

“At Bethesda we have an incredibly passionate fanbase, grown from a love of the timeless worlds explored through our gaming history,” said Simon Alty, VP & Managing Director, Bethesda APAC. “Whether you’ve been with us since The Elder Scrolls Arena or became a fan through Fallout, DOOM or even upcoming releases like Redfall and Starfield, we can’t wait to welcome you into 'Worlds of Bethesda' and celebrate with you during MIGW.”

Across the two days, there will be multiple sessions, meaning that you can book in your time and fit it to match your schedule from PAX Aus, or if you are not going to PAX, you can just enjoy this one. While almost all sessions are for ages 18 and over, there will be one session on the Saturday for the younger gamer, but don’t rush to bring your six year old, there is still a minimum age limit. Also, for those gamers who require a less intense option, there will be a special low noise and sensory friendly session on the Saturday as well.

Here are the times of each session, including any details

Friday 18+:

  • Session one 11am - 12pm (18+)

  • Session two 12:30pm - 1:30pm (18+)

  • Session three 2pm - 3pm (18+)

  • Session four 3:30pm - 4:30pm (18+)

  • Worlds of Bethesda Night Party 7pm - Midnight (18+)

Saturday:

  • Session one 11am-12pm (15-17’s session)

  • Session three 2pm - 3pm (18+)

  • Session four 3:30pm - 4:30pm (18+)

Attending the show will give you the chance to enjoy the worlds, but as Bethesda love to give away goodies, you won’t leave with just fond memories. If you have a spare Xbox One or Series X|S controller on hand as well, controller modders extraordinaire WeAreRobots will be on hand offering custom airbrushing, plus there are even more special prizes to be won.

If you want to go, you can register for your tickets here, spaces are limited so you will want to book early, all the details about what you can bring, food and such can be found on the Eventbrite page.
