Always a highlight of the yearly calendar, PAX Aus is fast approaching, and a new announcement of stars joining the 2025 guest speaker lineup has joined the slew of news on the 2025 festival program.
This year’s guest speakers are confirmed to include a mix of creators and stars from across gaming. Leading the lineup is BAFTA-nominated voice artist Amelia Tyler, who most recently starred in her aforementioned nomination role as The Narrator in “Baldur’s Gate 3,” but has also acted in “Divinity: Original Sin 2,” “Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous,” “Sea of Thieves” and “Hades 2.”
Joining her from the voice acting world is Luke Dale, best known for his performance as Lord Hans Capon in the “Kingdom Come: Deliverance” series. Beyond acting, other guests include Ify Nwadiwe, host of Dropout TV’s “Um, Actually” and writer for “Twisted Metal,” “Apex Legends” and “Borderlands 4.”

Beyond video games, guest stars include the creator of the comedy gameshow “The Dark Room,” John Robertson, Creative Director of the TTRPG “Call of Cthulu” Mike Mason and TTRPG content creator Diana Fay.
The guest speaker lineup is just a small part of the PAX lineup, and while much has yet to be confirmed, there are a few confirmed offerings throughout the show floor.
The eBay Tabletop Hall confirmed its offering in June. Chief among those is a PAX Aus first-time visit from Games Workshop and the “Warhammer” franchise, a “Magic: The Gathering” live play event, Bandai Card Games bringing a range of Anime-inspired titles and more.
For cosplayers, the Australian leg of the Cosplay Central Crown Championships will decide the Australian champion to travel to London for the finals, and while the PAX Rising and Expo Hall lineup has yet to be confirmed, a mix of AAA and indie games and developers are guaranteed to make appearances when the event returns on October 10, 2025.
