Gearbox Software returns after their blockbuster unveiling of Borderlands 3 at PAX East 2019 to celebrate the launch of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands while looking toward the future.

After canceling 2021’s show for the health and safety of the community, and successfully hosting safe events in September and December, PAX East organizers will require mandatory proof of vaccination and face coverings for all attendees, exhibitors, and guests in the BCEC. Additional health and safety information is available on the PAX East website.
“We had an opportunity to shake the dust off the show at PAX West and PAX Unplugged,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of Penny Arcade and PAX. “And now, it is just as was foretold: PAX East is reborn in glory.”
