The first information of the digital concept for gamescom 2020 is available: Since the world's largest event for computer and video games cannot take place on location in Cologne this year due to the corona pandemic, digital formats and platforms are therefore being continually expanded. From August 27 to 30, there will be lots of new shows, a greatly expanded gamescom now platform as a content hub for all the latest insights and news, and digital devcom’s wide-ranging program for game developers and other trade visitors as well as so much more.



gamescom 2020 is based on four pillars:

gamescom now, the content hub successfully launched last year, will be significantly expanded. It will be the first go-to source for all world premieres, news, games and events. All of gamescom’s shows like gamescom: Opening Night Live can also be seen here. The diverse spectrum of the gaming world is shown in all its variety in the central portal with different areas like content creator, esports, cosplay, indies and merchandise. There is no need to buy a ticket for gamescom now so that as many fans as possible get the chance to experience gamescom.

gamescom: Opening Night Live with Geoff Keighley, one of the widest-reaching gaming shows worldwide last year, will kick off gamescom 2020 on August 27. In addition, other formats will be produced this year such as the first-ever gamescom: Awesome Indies. In this surprising show, you will get to hear all the important announcements and news about the most anticipated indie titles. Also new is the gamescom: Daily Show, which will talk about and expand on the highlights from its own formats as well as the shows and promotions of the gaming companies and partners on a daily basis. In the gamescom studio, top developers will be interviewed and provide background information on the latest developments. This year's gamescom will be topped off with the gamescom: Best of Show. On August 30, this new format will close the event with a summary of this year's gamescom highlights and presentation of the gamescom award.

This year's devcom digital conference 2020 (from August 17 to 30) will have a broad program ready for trade visitors with lots of talks and plenty of matchmaking. In the future, devcom will also offer a varied program of talks, shows or master classes for game developers all year round. Further details can be found on the conference website at devcom digital - devcom Developer Conference.

In addition to all this, gamescom 2020 will also take place all over the internet. gamescom will make this happen by working together with many official partners, who will be holding their own events and promotions. These events will then be picked up at gamescom now and gamescom’s show formats.
