Gamescom is the largest gaming event in the world. In 2018, 370,000 visitors and 1037 exhibitors form 56 countries attended the show. In 2109, 373,000 people visited the event. Gamescom 2020 is scheduled to be held from the 25th till the 29th of August. The event is set to take place in Cologne, Germany.
Gamescom recently posted on Twitter that they are currently receiving enquiries about how a possible threat from the virus could affect the show. They are taking this topic very seriously since their top priority is the health of all trade fair visitors and partners.
Every major event in Cologne with more than one thousand participants has been banned. Preparations for the Gamescom are continuing as planned, according to the current status for the determined date. Should Gamescom be postponed or cancelled, all tickets purchased from the official shop will be refunded.

Thanks GamingBolt.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!
