Gamescom 2021 will once again be an all-digital show
Gamescom organizers originally intended to hold a hybrid event this year which would have featured both hands-on time with games in real life and streams, but that risky decision was fortunately reworked. "Even though the hybrid concept was very well received by partners, we had to recognize that GamesCom still comes too early for many companies in the industry due to the required planning reliability," Oliver Frese, COO of Koelnmasse, the German trade show organizer, said in a press release.
