There's still no date or location revealed for the recently revealed PAX Australia, but comments from the fan-focused video game expo's organisers indicate that a successful debut will make it a recurring event.

Speaking with Polygon, Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo reportedly stated "We're planning on doing PAX Australia forever, assuming people want it,", following with elaboration on the choice of Australia as the expo's first venture outside of the USA.

"I'd say it was a collective decision, but I suppose the true answer is that gamers down there decided," he said. "Even though their numbers may be smaller in population, their passion for gaming is insane. Retail titles cost $100 plus and they still buy them? Crazy! Can we all agree this is crazy?"

..."After a few more years of due diligence we realized how many hardcore gamers actually lived there," he said, "and over time all the pieces slowly came together."

As for what to expect from the show itself, Khoo seems hopeful that PAX Australia can offer the same breadth of videogame fandom as their US shows, scaled to meet attendance expectations.

"Content-wise, it'll be identical," Khoo said. "We have a really good base formula for what makes a PAX, but size-wise, we really won't know until we launch. We can (and have) scaled a PAX experience to anywhere from 3,500 people to tens of thousands, so no matter what, we'll make it work."
