In addition to the special souvenirs, fans can bring along their Xbox One|X|S controller and have it customised with an airbrush paint job by WeAreRobots. There will also be tonnes of prizes to win including “a custom Redfall & Starfield PC built by AfterShockPC, an ESO Breton Chilly Chest and Starfield merch all available to win across the weekend.”
Fans will also be able to go hands-on with classic Bethesda games with booths open for Skyrim, DOOM Eternal, Fallout 4 and more. Tickets to the pop-up space are free and are available from Eventbrite.
“Fans can register to attend any of the eight one-hour sessions from 11am – 4:30pm Friday and 11am – 4:30pm Saturday. The event has been designed with inclusivity in mind, as there will be a 15-18 y/o session for younger gamers, the venue is handicap accessible and there is a sensory sensitive session for those who prefer a quieter environment. Spots are limited and bookings are essential to ensure attendees have ample time to enjoy the full journey.“
On Friday 7 October, the ‘Worlds of Bethesda’ will be transformed into an 18+ event with live music, special guests, cosplayers and a Redfall inspired bar.
Simon Alty, VP & Managing Director, Bethesda APAC said, “At Bethesda we have an incredibly passionate fanbase, grown from a love of the timeless worlds explored through our gaming history. Whether you’ve been with us since The Elder Scrolls Arena or became a fan through Fallout, DOOM or even upcoming releases like Redfall and Starfield, we can’t wait to welcome you into ‘Worlds of Bethesda’ and celebrate with you during MIGW.”
