Get ready, gamers! PAX East 2025 is shaping up to be the ultimate gaming event of the year, and the first wave of exhibitors has just been revealed! From May 8 to May 11, 2025, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center will transform into a paradise for gamers, featuring an electrifying lineup of more than 280 developers, publishers, and industry giants. If you live on the East Coast, this is the gaming experience that you don’t want to miss.
This year’s show is packed with big names that are sure to thrill fans. The Pokémon Company, Larian Studios (creators of the critically acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3), Behaviour Interactive (Dead by Daylight), and Devolver Digital are just a few of the powerhouse exhibitors bringing their latest and greatest to the massive expo hall. And that’s just the beginning—more exciting announcements are on the way!
Recently, we got some big news that a playable demo of Crimson Desert, the highly anticipated open-world action-adventure from Pearl Abyss, will be on hand. This marks the first time North American fans will get to dive into the game, making it a can’t-miss moment for attendees. Which sucks for me as I won’t be able to make it to PAX East this year, and I really want to get some hands-on with this title.
Tabletop gamers, rejoice! PAX East isn’t just about video games—board game lovers will have plenty to explore with top-tier exhibitors like CATAN Studio, Cephalofair Games (Gloomhaven), and Marvel Dice Throne showcasing their latest creations. Whether you’re rolling dice, shuffling decks, or strategizing your next move, there’s something for everyone.
