Bethesda's annual QuakeCon celebration is all-virtual again in 2021, with three days of panels, announcements, streams, and giveaways planned from August 19-21.

Unlike past years where QuakeCon was light on anything actually involving Quake, this year marks the franchise's 25th anniversary. Bethesda will begin the virtual show by celebrating the occasion with a panel featuring developers from id Software and MachineGames. Other key developer-led panels include a deep dive into the upcoming Deathloop from Arkane, as well as more details about Fallout 76's custom worlds feature set to debut later this year. The entire event will be streamed via Bethesda's official Twitch channel.

QuakeCon 2021 viewers will be able to participate in the event's charity initiatives by donating to organizations like The Trevor Project, UNICEF, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund directly through the official QuakeCon stream. Pet-themed Doom and Deathloop t-shirts are also being sold, with proceeds benefiting Dallas Pets Alive! and FOUR PAWS, a global animal welfare organization.
