March 21

Join us as we celebrate the Year of Darkpaw and share stories from behind the scenes of the past 28 years of working on EverQuest. It’s definitely hardcore to try to cover 28 years in a single panel, so instead we’ll serve up a potpourri of some of the lesser and well-known stories of what it was like in the beginning, at launch, thirty expansions, and what we’re working on now.
• 2:00 p.m. t0 3:00 p.m. – The Power of Words: A Conversation with the Voices of Dustborn (Twitch) – Dustborn is a single-player, story-driven action–adventure game about hope, love, friendship, robots…and the power of words. Players step into the shoes of Pax, an exile and con artist with the ability to weaponize words, accompanied by a crew of misfits with their own peculiar powers. Together, they undertake a punk-rock road trip across the Divided States of America to deliver a mysterious package. Joining this panel are the creators behind Dustborn, including Ragnar Tornquist, creative director at Red Thread Games, Jess Erion, writer, and the game’s primary voice actors, Dominique Tipper (The Expanse, One Ranger) as Pax and Safiyya Ingar (The Witcher) as Sai. Hosted by Katy Bentz (Life is Strange), the round table will delve into the world of Dustborn, exploring the team’s approach to authentic character-building and narrative design.
• 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – Future Games Show: Spring Showcase 2024 – The Future Games Show Spring Showcase will feature world premieres, exclusive trailers, and developer presentations from over 40 exciting games across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC in 2024 and beyond .

In this special March Devstream, the Warframe team will offer PAX East attendees and viewers around the world a first look at a new Cinematic Quest that continues to set the stage for Digital Extremes’ wildly anticipated Warframe: 1999 Update this year. Expect big news, and lots of laughs, as the Warframe team welcomes its Community to celebrate 11 years of legendary space ninja action at PAX East.
