Gamescom 2020 will take place – albeit differently than originally planned. From August 27th to 30th a digital fair is being set up, which wants to replace all aspects of the fair as best as possible – but also brings something new with it.
The program of gamescom 2020 is now free and freely accessible for everyone. The managing director of the game association Felix Falk promises big things for video game fans:
“We expect surprising shows, numerous world premieres, announcements and special promotions that will make the entire games world talk about gamescom at the end of August.”
