If you’re a dice-roller, a role-player, or a deck-builder, you’ll want to be at PAX Aus this year.
The exhibitors and guests descending on the tabletop hall for PAX Aus 2026 have been announced, and it’s a stacked line-up.
Long-time PAX attendees Wizards of the Coast are back again, exhibiting both Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. The latest Magic set, Reality Fracture, will be on show, with opportunities to learn and play the game. Artist meet-and-greets will be available, as well as the Commander Showdown taking place on Saturday, October 10.
D&D fans will be able to pick up all kinds of RPG goodies, as well as play one-shot games in the free play area.
Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game is back again this year, this time with an even greater presence. Distributor Asmodee is also making an appearance, showcasing a huge range of new releases, including Star Wars: Unlimited – Homeworlds, Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Hunted, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game, and Citadels Duel.
Bandai aren’t missing the fun, bringing One Piece Card Game, Dragon Ball Super Card Game
Fusion World, Digimon Card Game and Gundam Card Game to the con. Learn-to-play sessions will be running across the weekend for those looking to lose their lives to a TCG (join me).
Outside of all of that, those in attendance can get around LEGO NINJAGO, K-Pop Demon Hunters: Battle for the Spotlight, and Hellbreak, and even rub shoulders with Australian game designers Jay Bendixen, Ryan Boucher, Natalie Delaney-John and Cam Jasson during special
designer sessions for Gretchen’s Garden and That Dicey Word Game.
PAX Aus 2026 is shaping up to be a banger, with all sorts of awesome panellists and guests announced for the weekend, alongside plenty of exhibitors ready to get new and upcoming games in your hands.
PAX Aus will be taking place between October 9-11 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Badges are available for purchase now, with the highly popular three-day badge already sold out.
