It's that time of the year again. From 23 aug 2023 – 27 aug 2023 there will be a lot of extra game-news. Dicsuss the event in this megathread!
Gamescom is the world's largest gaming event (measured by exhibition space and number of visitors), with 370,000 visitors and 1037 exhibitors from 56 countries attending the show in 2018. (From Wikipedia)
Geoff Keighly has been trying to replace E3 with his Summer Games Fest. That's where a lot of announcements come out. Iirc, Keighly said that this Gamescom wouldn't be reveals for new games, but updates on ones we know are coming.
I'd say neither are really replacements for E3, since E3 had showcases from PS/Xbox/Nintendo. Nowadays all the major publishers and console makers have their own reveals.
