A third Penny Arcade Expo has been strongly hinted at, and may come to Texas capital city Austin. Speaking during the Penny Arcade Panel at Comic-Con this weekend, Penny Arcade webcomic artist Mike Krahulik responded to a fan question asking if PAX would expand to Austin, Texas, saying the company is “aggressively exploring a third PAX very near you.”

Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX, has become the major consumer gaming event of the year for residents of the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast – filled with video games, board, table and card games, and many vendors showing off new games in development and offering wares for sale.

The midwest is typically underserved by many major events, which favor coastal cities instead. So a PAX in Texas would undoubtedly attract many, many fans who aren’t willing or able to travel to the coast just to go to a show.
