Co-show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade have unveiled the complete expo hall for PAX East 2026. The East Coast’s most-attended gaming event returns to the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center, formerly named the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, from Thursday, March 26, through Sunday, March 29, 2026.

The full list of over 300 exhibitors spans gaming, tech, and tabletop companies. Nintendo, Blumhouse Games, Double Fine Productions, NIS America, GIANTS Software, and Dread XP join previously announced exhibitors IllFonic (Halloween), Gravity Co. Ltd., and Atari Interactive. Logitech, Lexar, and IDW Publishing also fill out the show floor. 

Massachusetts’ game developers including Red Rabbit Games, Daylight Basement Studio, and AAAA Games, among many others will ensure a local footprint. Tabletop exhibitors roll the dice in Boston with Magic: The Gathering, Dice Throne, Misty Mountain Gaming, and UVS Games (Godzilla: Reign of Kaiju) providing analog experiences in the expo hall.

IllFonic will host a star-studded panel to discuss the upcoming asymmetrical stealth horror game Halloween, featuring Malek Akkad, President of Compass International Pictures, joined virtually by John Carpenter, the director of the original 1978 film. The schedule also includes a Warframe panel, cosplay gatherings including a Resident Evil 30th anniversary meetup, and live concerts starring indie pop star mxmtoon and Sixth Station Trio. 

“Mentally, I’m already there,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX, Penny Arcade, and Child’s Play Charity. “My keyboard is super messed up. I’m just gonna put up with it until the show. They got a bunch of real weird keyboards there.”
