ReedPop and Penny Arcade just dropped the official exhibitor list for PAX West 2025, and it’s packed with more than 200 companies ready to light up the show floor this Labor Day Weekend. That’s right, from Friday, August 29, through Monday, September 1, 2025, Seattle is about to get slammed with games, gear, and good times.
Let’s talk heavy hitters. Nintendo, Bandai Namco, and Capcom are pulling up, and they’re not alone. You’ve got Square Enix, Gearbox, Escape From Tarkov, and Arc System Works joining the party, and with that, I’m hoping that Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be playable at the event. If that wasn’t enough, we’re also seeing the return of big names like Larian Studios, Pearl Abyss (you know, the folks behind Crimson Desert), Wizards of the Coast, and The Behemoth.
And yes, the indies are well-represented. Ysbryd Games, Limited Run Games, and System Era are bringing the heat with whatever they’ve got cooking next. On the tabletop and analog side, Dice Throne, Chooseco (yep, those Choose Your Own Adventure books), and Cephalofair (Gloomhaven, anyone?) are locked in.
The full list of who’s going to be there, will be released soon-ish.
You already know the...
