We’ve known for a while that Gamescom will indeed be returning in 2021, with dates for the show set from August 25 to August 27, and that once more, it’s going to be an all-digital show. Now, with the time for the event fast approaching, the full list of publishers and developers who’re partnering with Gamescom and will have a presence at the event have been confirmed.

“Especially in view of the challenges for game production during the Corona pandemic and the much shorter preparation times of a digital event, we’re very delighted about the very impressive list of gamescom partners who are already confirmed,” says Oliver Frese, COO of organizer Koelnmesse. “With this, the purely digital gamescom with its shows and innovations underlines its great value for the industry and the worldwide gaming community.
“Together with already confirmed and continuously joining partners, we will continue to bring an exciting and eventful program to millions of gaming fans worldwide in 2021.”
Meanwhile, as previously confirmed, the event will once again be kicked off by Gamescom Opening Night Live, on August 25, hosted by Geoff Keighley.
