The Evolution of Gamescom in a Post-E3 Era

Gamescom has grown beyond its week-long event in Cologne, with satellite events in Asia and Latin America. The show's organizers aim to create a global platform for the gaming industry, with a focus on community engagement and a diverse range of exhibitors. Despite the absence of major players like PlayStation and Nintendo, Gamescom has secured a record number of exhibitors and expects increased attendance. The show's ability to adapt to industry changes, including the shift to hybrid events and the introduction of new features like Opening Night Live, has contributed to its success. Gamescom's organizers are now focused on developing their satellite events and exploring new ways to engage with the community, both online and offline.
