I mars kunde vi berätta att Gamecom i år siktade på ett hybridevent med aktiviteter i Köln samt annat online. Men nu meddelar arrangörerna att de tänkt om och liksom E3 2021 blir det en heldigital mässa som dessutom blir gratis. Oliver Frese, chef för Kölnmesse säger:
"Together with game - The German Games Industry Association, we have put all our energy into making gamescom 2021 in a hybrid format possible for fans and industry alike. However, even though the hybrid concept was very well received by the partners, we had to recognize that gamescom still comes too early for many companies in the industry due to the required planning reliability. One thing is absolutely clear: All those involved now need planning reliability. That's why we're going for a purely digital gamescom again this year and, with sufficient lead time, will be able to offer the gaming community an even stronger online event at the end of August 2021."
Gamescom 2021 inleds även i år med Gamescom: Opening Night Live, arrangerad av Geoff Keighley (som även är värd), den 25 augusti. Därefter pågår själva eventet den 27-276 augusti. Kolla in schemat härunder för mer information.
