PAX West 2026: Confirmed Highlights and Stream Setup Ideas

PAX West returns to Seattle from September 4 to 7, 2026. This preview brings together the official event details that are available now, the biggest confirmed attractions, and StreamSpell products that can help creators build a themed broadcast around the games and studios attending.

The event is hosted at the Seattle Convention Center. The official PAX West site describes a large expo hall, panels, demos, tournaments, performances, and new community spaces for 2026.

Important: StreamSpell is not affiliated with PAX, Konami, Riot Games, Bandai Namco, or the game brands mentioned below. The product pairings are visual recommendations, not official collaborations.

What is confirmed for PAX West 2026?

• Konami brings SILENT HILL and Castlevania. Konami has confirmed SILENT HILL: Townfall and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse for its booth. Townfall will have an interactive Scottish town clue experience, while Castlevania will feature a playable demo. Read Konami’s official announcement.

• Riot Games takes the Storytime stage. Marc “Tryndamere” Merrill, Riot Games cofounder and cochair, is scheduled for Friday, September 4 at 11 AM PT in the Main Theatre. The official page lists League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, Wild Rift, 2XKO, Riftbound, and the Riot MMO in development among the company’s portfolio. See the official Storytime details.

• Bandai Namco is confirmed as an exhibitor. Its official PAX West page confirms the Seattle event and says more updates are coming. Since a specific game lineup is not published there yet, we are keeping the Bandai section thematic rather than attributing an unconfirmed title to the show. Check Bandai Namco’s official event page.

• New community spaces join the show. PAX West 2026 introduces the Creator Stage and PAX Art Hub, adding more room for creator programming, visual work, and community discovery beyond the expo floor. Visit the official PAX West site for the latest schedule.

StreamSpell picks for the event

These are the closest matches for the confirmed themes and the most anticipated game conversations around PAX West. Check each product page for current variants, compatibility, and availability before planning a live campaign.

1. Sun and Moon Stream Package for League of Legends

Video preview of the Sun and Moon Stream Package with solar and lunar stream layouts.

Riot’s presence makes League of Legends an obvious anchor for a PAX West stream plan. Sun and Moon is described by StreamSpell as a celestial package with Sun and Moon themes, animated screens, alerts, webcam overlays, Goal Bars, Event List, Chat Box, a transition, social assets, and source files. The gold and dark blue palette is a strong fit for ranked sessions, MOBA coverage, and a broadcast that wants a clear day and night identity.

2. Paranoia Stream Package for VALORANT

Video preview of the Paranoia Stream Package with its dark fire and tactical VALORANT mood.

For VALORANT streams, Paranoia uses a darker palette with fire effects and an Omen inspired atmosphere. The product page lists four animated screens, offline screens, 12 animated alerts, a 16:9 webcam frame, modular labels, 43 panels, a stinger transition, and social assets. It keeps the broadcast focused while matching the tense energy of Riot’s competitive shooter.

3. Kami-Sama Stream Package for anime and Dragon Ball inspired streams

Video preview of the Kami-Sama Stream Package with celestial anime inspired stream visuals.

Bandai Namco’s PAX presence is confirmed, but its specific game lineup is still pending. Kami-Sama is therefore a thematic option rather than a claim about a confirmed PAX title. StreamSpell describes the package as inspired by Dragon Ball, with Day and Night versions, an Eternal Dragon, crystalline spheres, animated screens, alerts, webcam frames, labels, panels, a stinger, and social assets.

4. Heaven & Hell Stream Package for Castlevania

Video preview of the Heaven & Hell Stream Package with gothic heaven and underworld visuals.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse brings a gothic supernatural mood to the Konami booth, and Heaven & Hell is the closest visual match in this selection. Its product page highlights Heaven and Hell versions, a purple and black underworld treatment, animated screens, alerts, webcam frames, labels, panels, a stinger, and social graphics. It is a thematic pairing, not an official Castlevania product.

5. True Evil Stream Package for SILENT HILL: Townfall

Video preview of the True Evil Stream Package with a stormy mansion and horror atmosphere.

True Evil is the strongest fit for the horror side of SILENT HILL: Townfall. StreamSpell describes a stormy night, moving chandeliers, hidden shadows, and a mansion inspired by classic horror. The product page mentions horror games such as Resident Evil 7, Outlast, and Phasmophobia, so it works as a broad horror recommendation rather than a Resident Evil exclusive.

6. Horror Stream Deck Icons for your control setup

Add a finishing touch to a Silent Hill focused desk with the Horror Stream Deck Icons. The product page lists 400 icons in a dark and scary style, designed for Stream Deck, Stream Deck XL, and Stream Deck Mini. They are useful for scene changes, recording controls, chat actions, and other shortcuts that keep the on stream experience consistent.

Plan your PAX West stream coverage

Use Sun and Moon or Paranoia for Riot focused coverage, Kami-Sama as a flexible anime and Dragon Ball inspired option around the Bandai Namco conversation, Heaven & Hell for Castlevania, and True Evil with Horror Stream Deck Icons for the Silent Hill mood. These combinations keep the setup visually coherent without suggesting an official brand partnership.

For more focused setup ideas, read the Sun and Moon Stream Package guide, the VALORANT overlay guide, and the horror overlay guide.
