Once again the annual QuakeCon has kicked off in Dallas, Texas, and with it comes a number of presentations and keynotes from various developers under the Bethesda and id Software logos but also the usual tournaments seen from past years. From the press release:

As has become tradition, the first day of QuakeCon will feature a keynote address from the legendary John Carmack, id Software’s co-founder and technical director.

Along with John’s keynote, this year’s QuakeCon will feature the first public gameplay presentations for The Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Evil Within — plus a special panel featuring Dishonored’s Raphael Colantonio, Ricardo Bare and Seth Shain. These events will all take place on the show’s Ventrilo Main Stage.
