Gamescom 2021 Participants Include Bandai Namco and Sega
There was a big announcement for Gamescom regarding its participants for the upcoming 2021 show. The organizations that run the event, Koelnmesse and the German Games Industry Association (GGIA), revealed 19 new partners with more to come. This year’s event will be purely digital, kicking off on August 25, 2021, and closing on August 27, 2021 (CEST).
Koelnmesse and GGIA usually hold Gamescom annually in Cologne, Germany. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be digital and free like it was in 2020. Partners from previous years like Nintendo did not show up in 2020 and are absent from the current list.
