Following a two-year break as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gamescom is back. It wasn’t perfect, but I think more or less we can all agree this was a successful comeback.


The event made a grand return to Germany’s Koelnmesse complex and it was the first physical Gamescom we’ve had in years so it’s no wonder many people enjoyed seeing players, publishers, and the press gathering together to share their love for gaming. The opening night live stream was also somewhat disappointing, but all in all, it was great to see Gamescom back.
