The strafe-jumping will stay online
QuakeCon will return this year, though it won’t necessarily be back in Texas. The official QuakeCon account confirmed today that 2021’s event will once again be a digital-only event.
“We can’t wait to get back to Dallas with our QuakeCon family,” the statement reads. “But for the continued safety of our staff, the volunteers, and the community, this year’s QuakeCon will once again be a digital-only event.”
