About Us – BattleQuest

Our Story

BattleQuest was founded in 2019 in Melbourne by a group of five friends who shared one frustration: they couldn't find a gaming review site that truly spoke to Australian players. Too many platforms were dominated by US or UK perspectives, with no regard for local gaming culture, time zones, or the Australian esports scene.

So we built one. Starting as a small blog, BattleQuest has grown into one of Australia's most-read gaming platforms, with over 50,000 registered community members and partnerships with major esports venues across the country.

Founded in Melbourne, VIC in 2019
Team of 12 full-time reviewers and editors
500+ published game reviews
120+ tournaments organised or covered
50,000+ community members across Australia
