On Friday, ReedPop and Penny Arcade announced dates for PAX East in Boston, PAX West in Seattle, and PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, but said PAX South will not take place in 2021.

In a news release, the PAX organizers said that depending on the state of COVID-19 infections and “with the support and guidance of local governments and health officials,” PAX East will return to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from June 3-6; PAX West will return to the Washington State Convention Center from Sept.

On the official PAX website, organizers said they announced next year’s dates at this juncture “to help partners plan for the upcoming year on how they might attend as well as provide a chance to start conversations about how to bring attendees, panelists, exhibitors, and our broader community together with these events that are 7 months away.” The organizers said that “safety is always our highest priority” and added that “if COVID-19 remains a major barrier to safely gathering at one of our shows, we won’t do it or we will take it virtual.

ReedPop’s announcement comes one month after the convention and events organizer announced new dates for 2021’s Emerald City Comic Con and the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.
