2K Games is Seattle-bound and this year is going to be huge for us. We are smack-dab in the center of the convention hall (Booth #3317 and #3417) with a playable demo of The Darkness II and the North American premiere of Borderlands 2! You’ll also be able to enter Citizen One’s bunker and join the ranks of Citizen SkyWatch at PAX – to find out what’s happening to our skies and why One is calling Agents to Seattle, go to www.citizenskywatch.com. And that's not all - BioShock Infinite is just a hop, skip and a jump away at #1130 with Irrational Games.
The fun doesn’t stop there, though. After checking out The Darkness II demo, pick up your Darkling mask and wear it around the convention – we’ll be roaming the halls giving away 500 Darkling ski masks throughout the weekend to the lucky Darklings we meet. We’re also bringing 75 of our limited edition Darkling Statues and giving them away to PAXers who tweet using #Darkness2AtPAX. All XCOM fans should find Citizen Zero for a chance to score one of 500 Field Team bags. And last (but certainly not least): Borderlands 2 fans will be able to swag some of the first swag ever created if they check out the world premiere demo – so get there early, because the line is sure to be a doozy. (And as if that wasn’t enough - we’ll also be bringing 2K swag for those who visit the booth and tweet about what they saw with #2KatPAX – and we’ll have a giant goodie box of awesomeness at our Tweetup on Saturday.)
We are also planning a full schedule of events throughout the weekend, including a Darkness II panel and two livestreams. Full details are below for the entire weekend and the stream will be broadcast at www.ustream.tv/2kgameslive - comment below with any questions you have for the dev teams at Digital Extremes and Gearbox for a chance to hear your answer on-air.
