Several weeks after the official unveiling, Biohazard Con has announced a date and location for their first event.

Biohazard Con 2021 will take place on October 16th at the Scottish Rite Center in Sacramento, CA. At the moment; no guests, events or panels have been announced. Details about the convention will be made available in the coming weeks and months. Vendor applications and ticket sales will also become available in the future.

Biohazard Con is a one day event that is dedicated to the horror game community. It will feature voice actors, devlopers and more for a day of fun. The convention name is a reference to the Resident Evil series (named Biohazard in Japan). It’s being organized by the team behind Sinister Creatures Con and with the support of Scream Queens Gorelesque Productions and the Sacramento Horror Film Festival.

This is just one of several conventions in the Bay Area that will host a live event. SiliCon with Adam Savage and SacAnime Summer 2021 are among the major conventions that are set to be live event (but that could change should there be a spike in cases). As of July 5th, 60% of California’s population has received their first dose of the vaccine while states have lifted most economic restrictions.

This will also be a new addition to the several horror conventions that take place in the Sacramento area. Sinister Creatures Con is set to take place on August 15th while the Sacramento Horror Film Festival will take place on November 13th.
