At a panel at PAX East this morning, Penny Arcade founders Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins announced plans for PAX South, to be held for the first time in San Antonio from January 23 through 25, 2015.

The franchise has since expanded to include Boston's PAX East, started in 2010, and Pax Australia, started last year. The two US shows now routinely draw upwards of 60 to 70,000 video, card, board, and role-playing game fans from around the world, with tickets selling out in a matter of hours each year.
