In a statement posted on Twitter, the team said:
It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the postponement of PAX Aus 2021.
At the start of the year, we were optimistic that we’d all be able to come together in person this October. We’ve been working hard with our partners and exhibitors to deliver the best possible version of PAX Aus 2021, but due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in Australia, the next edition of PAX Aus will now take place in 2022.
Our thoughts are with our PAX community and everyone who helps us to deliver this incredible event each year. The aim of PAX Aus has always been to provide a safe space for our community to gather, share our passion for games and create new memories with those who matter to us most. The fact we can’t do so in person at PAX Aus 2021 has left us all heartbroken, but it’s the right choice for our community, team, and partners to postpone this year’s show and look to the future.
Like last year, we’re still planning to bring our community together with PAX Aus Online. Stay tuned to our social media channels over the coming days as we announce more info on that soon.
For those of you who purchased tickets to PAX Aus 2021, we’d like to remind you that you’re entitled to a full refund. You will be receiving specific information about that within the next 7 days.
The entire PAX Aus Team would like to thank you for your ongoing support and understanding during this challenging time. While we can’t all come together in person this year, we urge you all to continue to stay in touch with us, your community, and each other.
Stay safe and be kind,
The PAX Aus Team
