This year’s Gamescom was planned as a hybrid event, meaning some would be held as physical fairs and some digitally. However, the German Games Industry Association announced that most companies will not be able to participate physically in the fair after long discussions with partners and participants, and that the fair will be held entirely digitally, taking into account the current pandemic conditions.
Gamescom 2021 will be completely digital and will not require any fees to watch.
The show will kick off on Wednesday 25 August with gamescom: Opening Night Live, also presented by Geoff Keighley. The Gamescom content center will also be refurbished with a more attractive design. A improved user interface, customizable calendars, live streams, events, shows are waiting for us.
Gamescom 2021 runs from August 25th to August 27th.
Last year’s event was followed by more than 50 million users from 180 countries, and the videos were viewed over 100 million times.
