The games companies are very interested in experiencing the unique festival feeling again together with their local community in Cologne. Around 250 companies have already secured their presence for Gamescom 2022 at the end of August. This is announced by the organizers of the fair.

Overall, all halls and thus the entire Koelnmesse site will again be used for Gamescom 2022. More news about the registration status will follow in the coming weeks.

Gamescom 2022: Area with a focus on indies

Felix Falk, Managing Director of game - Association of the German Games Industry: "In view of the two pandemic years without Gamescom on site, we are very pleased that so many partners are already participating at this point in time. This year there are numerous additional challenges for the exhibitors, but together we have the clear goal of making Gamescom the global lighthouse for games again this year. The great interest shows how important it was to hold Gamescom digitally during the pandemic and thus expand it internationally. After two years full of online presentations, the games companies will finally be in direct contact with their community again, which creates unique experiences and cannot be replaced by anything else - transported digitally all over the world.”

Oliver Frese, Managing Director and COO of Koelnmesse: "The entire Gamescom team has been working hard for months to make Gamescom 2022 an unforgettable experience for all participants. That's why we're extremely happy about the strong signal from the industry. It once again confirms the importance of Gamescom for the worldwide games community. I am already looking forward to celebrating the start of Gamescom 23 and the many premieres of Gamescom with the entire community on August 2022: Opening Night Live in our Gamescom event arena in Cologne and online in the stream.”
