Gamescom Now Stands as the World’s Biggest Gaming Expo. What Comes Next?

Gamescom, originally known as the Games Convention, has been Europe’s leading video game trade show since 2002. It was held in Leipzig for six years before relocating to Cologne’s Koelnmesse in 2009, where it has taken place annually ever since. Following E3’s shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gamescom has emerged as the largest gaming industry event in the world.
