Gamescom 2024, one of the major gaming events in the world, is coming.
Germany’s Gamescom event is arguably the largest in-person gaming convention on the planet, as E3 has ceased to exist.
Gamescom, which was introduced in 2009, is an annual event that takes place in Cologne (except for 2020). It serves as a platform for numerous major publishers and studios to present their products to gamers in attendance and around the globe.
Fans can anticipate the release of trailers, gameplay revelations, and announcements for upcoming games as Microsoft, 2K, Team 17, and Bethesda showcase their most recent projects.
Sony is once again declining to participate in Gamescom this year, as it has not participated in the event since before the pandemic.
