										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>STG’s Darren Price was invited to the launch of the new expansion for <em>Magic: The Gathering</em>, <em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan</em>. As a follow-up to the 2017 <em>Ixalan</em> expansion, players are invited to return to the mysterious jungles of Ixalan with a few surprises in store.</p>
<p><em>Magic: The Gathering</em> is a fantasy collectable card game originally inspired by tabletop fantasy role-playing games. Two or more players take on the role of Planeswalkers using spell cards and mana (land) cards to battle each other and reduce their opponents’ life points and win the match. Earlier this year the game celebrated its 30th anniversary.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60785" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_07-1.jpg?x67281" alt="Magic: The Gathering - The Lost Caverns of Ixalan" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_07-1.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_07-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_07-1-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_07-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_07-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Players select their deck for each game, strategically choosing cards that align with each other, reflecting their play style, and the anticipated style of their opponents. Deck starter kits are sold to help new players easily get a deck together.</p>
<p>Each card has a unique piece of art on the top portion with a description of the card’s mechanic on the lower portion. There are special cards and chase cards that can be found in the various deck kits and card packs.</p>
<p>It can be overwhelming at first, but the gameplay scales quite well to players’ ability. It had been decades since I last played the game and I was totally lost when I first returned to the game, playing with my kids. The best way to learn <em>Magic </em>is by just joining in and giving it a go. If that doesn’t work for you, there’s a free mobile app, <em>Magic: The Gathering Arena</em> which has tutorials and allows you to use your actual purchased cards, via a redeemable code found in each pack.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60783" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_04.jpg?x67281" alt="Magic: The Gathering - The Lost Caverns of Ixalan" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_04.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_04-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_04-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_04-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_04-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Wizards of the Coast, the publishers of <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> chose Fortress Sydney as the venue for <em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan</em> launch event. Fortress Sydney is a themed gaming event centre and tavern in the heart of Sydney. The location regularly hosts esports tournaments in a dedicated arena.</p>
<p>For the event, <em>Magic</em> fans in attendance received their own Commander deck at the door and were able to take their place at one of the many tables on the arena floor. Whilst the event was restricted to over 18s (likely due to the free-flowing alcohol), it was great to see fans old and young coming together for a preview of the new <em>Magic</em> expansion. Also in attendance was special guest Gavin Verhey, a Principal Game Designer for <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> at Wizards of the Coast.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60781" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_02.jpg?x67281" alt="Magic: The Gathering - The Lost Caverns of Ixalan" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_02.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_02-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_02-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_02-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_02-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p><em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan</em> expansion continues the game’s program of tie-ins with licenced properties started with the Universes Beyond decks, The Lord of The Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth, and Doctor Who. Lucky players may come across one of the 26 collaboration cards featuring characters and themes from the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movie franchises.</p>
<p>This, the ninety-eighth <em>Magic</em> expansion, adds three new game mechanics and new commanders. <em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan</em> adds 291 regular cards to <em>Magic: The Gathering</em>. <em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan</em> cards are sold in packs that include Draft Boosters, Set Boosters, Collector Boosters, Commander Decks, Prerelease Packs, Bundles, and Gift Bundles.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60779" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_10.jpg?x67281" alt="Magic: The Gathering - The Lost Caverns of Ixalan" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_10.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_10-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_10-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_10-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Magic_Ixalan_10-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Collecting the cards is as much a part of <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> as playing the game, with some cards fetching a small fortune. The one-off One Ring Magic card is purported to be worth between $1 million to $2 million.</p>
<p>With <em>The Lost Caverns of Ixalan</em> launch at Fortress Sydney, <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> goes from strength to strength as part of the resurgence of tabletop fantasy gaming that can be enjoyed by the old and young. If you’ve not tried it already, I recommend you give it a go.</p>

<p>Get excited, Whovians, because Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston is coming to New Zealand for two special events in February 2024.</p>
<p>The Ninth Doctor will be joined by a line-up of Who actors, including the 12th Doctor’s companion Pearl Mackie, to meet fans in Auckland on February 24th, 2024 and Wellington February 25th 2024 .</p>
<p>Organiser William Geradts, who runs the Armageddon Expo, says the aptly-named Lord of Time events coincide perfectly with the show’s 60 year milestone. “Doctor Who is one of those cult classic shows that spans generations,” he says. “Being a huge fan myself, I’m very excited to be a part of the celebrations here in New Zealand. Christopher Eccleston is a massive drawcard for Whovians, so I’m sure we’ll have loads of people joining us to mark 60 years.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60607" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-The-Lord-of-Time-Live-in-WLG-social-media-image-1200x800-1.jpg?x67281" alt="Doctor Who" width="1280" height="853" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-The-Lord-of-Time-Live-in-WLG-social-media-image-1200x800-1.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-The-Lord-of-Time-Live-in-WLG-social-media-image-1200x800-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-The-Lord-of-Time-Live-in-WLG-social-media-image-1200x800-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-The-Lord-of-Time-Live-in-WLG-social-media-image-1200x800-1-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>He says this will be the first time fans will have the chance to meet a new generation Doctor in New Zealand.<br />
“Peter Capaldi, the Twelfth Doctor, was here in 2015 for an evening speakers event – but this is something completely new because fans will be able to chat with Christopher Eccleston and get an autograph and photo with him.”</p>
<p>Tickets and tokens for the two Lord of Time conventions are on sale via iTicket for Auckland and Ticketmaster for Wellington. Among other Who events in the country will be Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction exhibition in Wellington.</p>
<p>The exhibition will run for five months from June 1 at  Tākina , Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre, giving fans of the hit BBC television series 2024 the opportunity to come face to face with the show’s iconic characters, share the Doctor’s adventures, and explore some of the worlds visited on screen.</p>
<p>It is the first time the exhibition has left UK shores.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>As the first Spring Auckland Armageddon Expo since 2020 set the stage, the scene was set for the return of bigger brands and more variety, a welcome return for those not solely into anime or cosplay.</p>
<p>With still more than an abundance of anime and cosplay to your hearts content if that’s what you’re after, the return of bigger brands like PlayStation, Mighty Ape and Samsung were certainly a highlight to see, making the event start to feel a glimmer of what it used to be years ago.</p>
<p>It was disappointing to still see no return for Xbox and Nintendo though, who were usually a highlight alongside PlayStation of my visit to Auckland Armageddon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>Saying this, PlayStation and Mighty Ape were nowhere near as grand as they used to be. Given the scope of Mighty Ape as a whole online shop, I was surprisingly disappointed by how small their stand was and how little stock they had on display.</p>
<p>PlayStation’s stand was more of a Spider-Man 2 stand, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, it is a major release after all, but ultimately it didn’t show any of the wide scope that PlayStation as a brand is usually known for.</p>
<p>The slow rise of physical guests continued. Voice actor legend Troy Baker was present at this year’s Springeddon and became one of the reasons I attended the event. It was a lot of fun having the likes of Troy Baker attend, but the second main stage where I watched his panel was incredibly small and had a screen at the back that unfortunately made it no easier to see the voice actor.</p>
<p>The show floor, as expected, was very busy, and popular. On the other hand, a negative term to otherwise use could be cramped. Most of the time you couldn’t see the vendors, especially in artist alley, because so many people were standing and struggling to walk in all directions. With not a lot of ventilation I could tell of, a part from the doors on the outskirts, the space become very hot and suffocating, despite only being in Spring.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>The unique and tasty food vendors outside were a breath of fresh air, literally, and it was cool to not only see the generic stalls, but also more unique food and drink options.</p>
<p>Artist alley remained one of the most popular spots of the event, as mentioned by the bustling crowds. There’s nothing better than finding something exciting and different, perhaps only found by being exposed to an independent artist. A lot of the bigger vendors selling items felt generic and cheap, which was a shame when comparing to the more independent artists who are vying for recognition.</p>
<p>Although continuously rising back to its former grandeur, Auckland Armageddon can’t quite keep up with the momentum required to grab people’s attention long enough to stick around for years to come, unless you fall into a very specific anime or cosplay niche. Saying this, you can’t deny the crowds, so albeit my time attending an Armageddon Expo may need a long deserved break, I’ll still be there admiring from afar.</p>

<p>WWE in partnership with the Western Australian Government through Tourism Western Australia, today announced its return to Australia for a globally televised Premium Live Event (PLE).</p>
<p><em>WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth</em> will take place at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, on Saturday, February 24, 2024. This will mark WWE’s first event in Australia since 2018 and the only PLE in the Asia-Pacific region in 2024.</p>
<p>Located in the heart of Perth, the capital of Western Australia – a famed travel destination with a globally renowned record in hosting cultural and sporting events – the multi-purpose world-class Optus Stadium opened in 2018 and has hosted a multitude of sports and entertainment events including the Australian Football League Grand Final, State of Origin, Ed Sheeran’s ‘÷’ tour, Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ tour, Eminem’s ‘Rapture’ tour, U2’s ‘Joshua Tree’ tour, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the upcoming Australian-exclusive Coldplay ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour.</p>

<p>“Perth is the perfect location for a major WWE Premium Live Event in Australia, following a series of record-breaking WWE events in iconic international destinations,” said WWE Senior Vice President Chris Legentil. “With a week full of WWE events and experiences, we hope to leave a lasting memory for Western Australia and the entire WWE Universe.”</p>
<p>“Hosting WWE in Perth is a real coup for our state as it will shine a global spotlight on Western Australia to billions of viewers worldwide, attract thousands of out-of-state visitors to WA and create an incredible atmosphere in the city for the local community and visitors alike,” said the Hon. Rita Saffioti MLA, Western Australia’s Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism. “The WA Government, through Tourism WA, is proud to support this exclusive event that will generate millions of dollars for the local economy and highlight WA as a world-class events destination. I encourage everyone to Western Australia for WWE to extend their trip to explore more of our wondrous state as part of this once in a lifetime opportunity.”</p>

<p>Commenting on the historic announcement, WWE Women’s World Champion and Australian native Rhea Ripley said: “I’m beyond proud to represent Australia every single time I step inside a WWE ring and to bring a Premium Live Event to Perth is a dream come true. Get ready Australia, because Mami is coming home.”</p>
<p>The 2023 <em>WWE Elimination Chamber</em> from the Bell Centre in Montreal broke multiple company records. Viewership of the event saw a 54 percent increase versus the prior record set in 2022. It also marked new high points for gate, merchandise and sponsorship.</p>
<p><em>WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth</em> will be broadcast live in approximately 165 countries in 25 languages and seen in more than 1 billion homes. Information regarding general ticket onsale and further event updates will be available in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>Additionally, Priority Pass ticket packages will soon be available from On Location, offering fans the chance to be ringside for every exhilarating moment including premium seating, pre-show hospitality with WWE Superstar appearances, ringside photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise and more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p dir="auto">As we travelled through the misty mountains to Wellington, it wasn’t long until we were greeted by the misty mountain of Sky Stadium, or perhaps the misty towering carpark and building, as a day of Autumn rain settled in at Armageddon Expo’s Wellygeddon.</p>
<p>Despite the rain, people flocked to the yearly  event, putting aside the umbrellas (this is windy Wellington after all) and most without raincoats to get a sprinkling of rain on their everyday outfits and extravagant cosplay costumes. Luckily we managed to pay for a carpark at the event location, even though the carpark chaos and sheer high numbers was insane. Although expensive carpark pricing continues to rise, it certainly made the journey to the event short and easy.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58762" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/169888570064_n.jpg?x67281" alt="Wellington Armageddon Expo 2023" width="1280" height="810" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/169888570064_n.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/169888570064_n-300x190.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/169888570064_n-768x486.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>After rushing to find the bathroom because of the long journey to get to Wellington and to get inside the event as we needed to wait to receive our media passes outside, the size and design of Sky Stadium made it quite the task to access the bathroom facilities. It may seem like a pointless thing to point out, but with the number of people and various ages at the event, no doubt needing easy access to such facilities, I wonder if they struggled to find these locations quickly as well, unless just happening to stumble upon them on their journey.</p>
<p>Bathrooms aside, it was time to tackle Wellgeddon. The ring design of the Sky Stadium was very familiar to me, but the frustrations of this design never seem to cease, even if I tried to remind myself to take my time, and not be in a rush. You know when you’re at a shopping centre, or walking along a path and a group of people just stop to have a chat in the middle of the space? That happened here too, despite the already minimal room, especially in certain parts of the ring. This caused build up and a back log of bodies bashing against one another quite often, soon relying on handholding to not loose my partner in the chaos.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58758" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4048052064_n.jpg?x67281" alt="Wellington Armageddon Expo 2023" width="1280" height="1591" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4048052064_n.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4048052064_n-241x300.jpg 241w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4048052064_n-1030x1280.jpg 1030w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4048052064_n-768x955.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4048052064_n-1236x1536.jpg 1236w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>Breathes of fresh air occurred on and off throughout the journey of Wellygeddon, and when I mean breathes of fresh air, I mean openings in the crowd where you had room to stretch your legs, take a moment to regain yourself and get your bearings. Because of the high intensity ‘flow’ of the Sky Stadium ring design, I often found myself having to back track as I’d missed something and being a woman of average height, I simply couldn’t see what I was missing out on at times.</p>
<p>Post pandemic world, artist alley continues to be my favourite new appreciation for the local artists. Finding unique gifts or household items is what I’ve loved for years. I will admit I never used to give artist alley as much attention years ago, across all Armageddon Expos, as I was often distracted by the bigger brands and names, but when you take that away (which I am still quite gutted about), you’re left to admire the smaller things in life, for Armageddon Expos, that’s artist alley.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58765" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2878316260994611_n.jpg?x67281" alt="Wellington Armageddon Expo 2023" width="1280" height="1067" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2878316260994611_n.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2878316260994611_n-300x250.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2878316260994611_n-768x640.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>I do wish I had the insight into understanding why bigger brands and names no longer seem to be attending any Armageddon Expos anymore. There was nothing better than the excitement of experiencing new games or previews of technology as they’d just made their way to our shores or were going to.</p>
<p>This ‘wonder’ made me feel less isolated in comparison to the rest of the world and excited for new things to come. Now we can all only hope to have access to such events overseas, which isn’t practical for a lot of people.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, the weather didn’t stop people from attending Wellygeddon, with crowds bustling and cars jam packed not only in the Sky Stadium carpark but also out onto one of the main roads into Wellington city. I wonder what pulls others into attending the Armageddon Expos with their families when a lot has changed about the event since Covid, with a lot less big brands, big shops and celebrities. For myself, anything entertainment related is my go to and I’ll never not jump to the opportunity to experience an exciting event.</p>
<p dir="auto">Ranging from swords, food, pop vinyls, and artwork in all its forms, the local vendors and artists delighted people with their stalls and abundance of goodies to choose from. Although missing the big brands still, for video games and technology especially, we can always rely on the locals of New Zealand to come together and put on a fun event.</p>

<p>Calling all brave adventurers, intrepid explorers, and Vault Dwellers!</p>
<p>On October 7th and 8th 2022 Bethesda invites fans to step into the worlds and environments from their favourite past, present and future Bethesda games during Melbourne International Games Week. ‘Worlds of Bethesda’ will open in the heart of Melbourne, completely transforming a venue into an exclusive playground for fans of Starfield, Redfall, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout; with interactive experiences, immersive entertainment, themed food / beverages, a community party and more.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56005" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3963727-esohighisleascendantmagus.jpg?x67281" alt="Elder Scrolls Online - High Isle" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3963727-esohighisleascendantmagus.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3963727-esohighisleascendantmagus-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3963727-esohighisleascendantmagus-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>On Friday 7th and Saturday 8th October, from 11am – 4:30pm AEDT, ‘Worlds of Bethesda’ will transport attendees to a Tamrielic tavern inspired by The Elder Scrolls Online, a Reclamation Day dining area inspired by Fallout, a planetary exploration and anti-gravity space room inspired by Starfield, as well as the survivor HQ in the town of Redfall, Massachusetts. These non-gameplay experiences have all been tailored to allow passionate fans to step into the worlds they love so much.</p>
<p>Attendees will be able to leave with souvenirs from their trip to these worlds, including a super limited edition collectible passport and a goodie bag. Fans will also be able to bring their own Xbox One/X/S controller and have it airbrushed, themed around their favourite Bethesda game from famed controller modder, WeAreRobots. &#8216;Worlds of Bethesda&#8217; will also feature a huge array of prizes, including a custom Redfall &amp; Starfield PC built by AfterShockPC, an ESO Breton Chilly Chest and Starfield merch all available to win across the weekend.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43861" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/doom_eternal_5.0.jpg?x67281" alt="" width="1200" height="675" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/doom_eternal_5.0.jpg 1200w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/doom_eternal_5.0-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/doom_eternal_5.0-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/doom_eternal_5.0-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>In addition to the immersive experiences, legacy gaming booths will be open for fans to sit back, relax and jump into genre defining games from Bethesda’s history, including Skyrim, DOOM Eternal, Fallout 4 and more.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>On Friday evening from 7pm the venue will transform into an 18+ community event featuring a live music act, special guest appearances, and cosplayers partying until midnight in a Redfall inspired bar.</p>
<p>“At Bethesda we have an incredibly passionate fanbase, grown from a love of the timeless worlds explored through our gaming history,” said Simon Alty, VP &amp; Managing Director, Bethesda APAC. “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 &#8216;Worlds of Bethesda&#8217; and celebrate with you during MIGW.”<br />

<p>At the &#8216;What’s Next Western Digital&#8217; event, Western Digital also announced that it has once again achieved record-breaking UHS-I read speeds – now up to 200MB/s – on its SanDisk Extreme PRO &#8211; class memory card line, making them the fastest UHS-I SD and microSD memory cards in the world. The SanDisk Extreme PRO cards reach this unprecedented speed by leveraging Western Digital’s proprietary SanDisk QuickFlow technology.</p>
<p>Paired with the new SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD &amp; microSD device, the cards deliver unmatched speeds that enable creatives to offload their content quickly with time- and labour-saving efficiency.</p>
